CHAIRMANS STATEMENT

On behalf of the Board of Directors of ETI Tech Corporation Berhad (ETICB), I have the pleasure of presenting to you the Annual Report of the Group for the financial year ended 31 August 2011.
In the financial year 2011, we witnessed a few major events which will contribute positively to the growth of the Group. On September 2010, we were appointed by Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia (JKR) as its Project Partner on the pilot project for Genset Hybrid Systems, which used diesel genset as its power generation and ETI lithium based batteries as its energy storage. Subsequently in November 2010, this pilot project was implemented in a school located at a rural area of Kapit, Sarawak. This was a test case whereby using lithium polymer battery had better efficiency, reliability and cost advantage over the conventional lead acid based system. The objective of this project was to enable this school to be supplied with 24 hour electricity. We have received a report in March, 2011 prepared by Pasukan Projek JARIMAS comprising, among others, JKR and Universiti Malaysia Sarawak in relation to the Pilot Project implemented at the school (Sekolah Kebangsaan Lepong Gaat, Kapit, Sarawak) for the Genset Hybrid System completed during the financial year. In January 2011, we announced the updates of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with Sirim Berhad to establish a partnership to develop the appropriate testing technology and safety approval standards for the medium to high power lithium based battery for various industry applications such as solar, electric vehicles and other applications in the domestic as well as international markets. In line with the said MoU, ETI Tech had collaborated with SIRIM in developing the undermentioned Solar Power Solution System as the Pilot Project for both parties:1) Solar Power Solution System (Model : SPSS2000PSW1) for Surau in Kg Gontoi, Kota Marudu, Sabah. 2) Solar Power Solution System (Model : SPSS2000PSW2) for Solar Generation Lab test at Bukit Jalil. 3) Solar Power Solution System (Model : SPSS2000PSW2) for Surau in Kg Kundang, Pahang. In 11 April 2011, we entered into an MoU with Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) and Green Electric Sdn. Bhd. (GESB) to develop technical knowledge and technology transfer, expertise and research co-operation and also to promote mutual understanding for the joint development and promotion of GenSet Hybrid System to the Ministry of Education (MOE) for the rural schools in Sarawak.

CHAIRMANS STATEMENT (contd)


In 25 April 2011, we were invited by Sabah Economic Development and Investment Authoritys (SEDIA) Investment Technical Committee to submit a detailed proposal on Green Power Solutions (the Proposal) for Agropolitan Projects in Sabah (the Projects). In line with the Proposal, we will collaborate with GESB, a home-grown system integrator, to provide Green Power Solutions for the Projects spearheaded by SEDIA, priority of which would be for the electrification of:i) ii) the housing of the residence working in the farm; and the rural schools built for the residence in the Projects area.

Subject to the project survey and technical assessment on the suitability of micro hydro system, ETI shall also provide green energy storage system for the Projects. Increasingly, we will focus on working in collaboration with system integrators to implement projects that utilise its green technology batteries. These include government projects, such as rural electrification programme for schools and housing via solar power system, and private sector companies that are keen to embrace green technology. With the increasing awareness of the advantages of lithium based battery applications over lead acid battery which is deemed to be not environment friendly, we foresee a potential increase in demand for our products which provide innovative energy storage solutions. FINANCIAL RESULTS For the financial year ended 31 August 2011, the Group has achieved revenue and profit before taxation of RM58 million and RM4 million respectively, which were mainly contributed from the sales of its existing own brand mobile charging products and customized design battery packs. The decrease in revenue and profit before taxation by RM16.03 million and RM5.81 million respectively compared to the preceding year were mainly contributed from the decrease in sales volume, depreciation of US Dollar against the Ringgit Malaysia as well as foreign exchange losses. RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT In the financial year ended 2011, the Group continued to carry out its Research & Development (R&D) efforts and activities as planned and in line with the markets needs and technological advances. During the year, the Group had focused in R&D activities for the development of solar storage system to rural areas. We worked on those projects implemented outside the grid power transmission coverage, alternative power sources that are more efficient and eco-friendly that should be given higher priority to prevent permanent environmental damage to the rural areas which play an important role in the national food chain. In addition, the solutions have to blend well with the local environment with future development of the selected areas taken into consideration. Our various combinations of power generation and storage systems, all of which incorporate green components and/or core solutions designed to reduce carbon emissions by 68-74%, towards meeting our Prime Ministers pledge at the Copenhagen Climate Change Summit COP15 to reduce 40% of Malaysias carbon emissions by the year 2020 compared to 2005 figures. It is also intended to set a new benchmark for operating and cost efficiency where power supply via connection to the grid is not possible or unrealistic in the medium term. Our R&D will remain focus on green and renewable energy sector as it is becoming increasingly significant and important as countries and governments globally are concerned about depleting non-renewable energy sources and global warming as well as to seek to become less reliant on traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels. Battery, as an energy storage medium, is one of the main components of the green energy drive. We are hopeful of being able to secure meaningful contracts by introducing these energy storage solutions in the domestic and international markets. FUTURE PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP The financial turmoil surrounding the US and European economies continued to weigh down on Asia and the rest of the world during the financial year. However, going forward into 2012, measured recovery is expected and in view of this as well as the promising outlook of the green and renewable energy sector, the Group foresees an increase in the demand for its products and hence has continued to undertake more business negotiations, upgrade its engineering capabilities and technical know-how as well as provide more enhanced and value-added services and innovative solutions to its customers. We expect a strong growth in both revenue and profitability in the near future given the promising outlook of the green and renewable energy sector. Appreciation On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to the management team and staff for their continuing efforts, dedication and contribution towards the success of the Group. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our valued customers, business associates, suppliers, bankers and regulatory authorities for their support. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continuing support, trust and confidence towards the achievements of the Group thus far. Last but not least, I wish to thank my fellow Directors for their invaluable guidance, advice and support. DATO AHMAD SHUKRI BIN TAJUDDIN Chairman

STATEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL


Introduction This Statement on Internal Control has been prepared in accordance with the Statement on Internal Control Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies. Board Responsibilities The Board recognises the importance of maintaining a sound system of internal control over financial reporting, compliance with laws and regulations and the Groups operations as well as having effective risk management practices within the Group. The Board affirms its overall responsibility and reviews the adequacy and integrity of the system of internal control to safeguard shareholders investment and the Groups assets. However, due to the inherent limitations of any system of internal control, this system is designed to manage, rather than eliminate the risk of failure to achieve the Groups objectives. Accordingly, the system can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. Risk Management The Board recognizes its responsibilities with regard to identifying and managing principal risks. The Group has a formalized risk management framework in which the existence of significant risks of the Group have been identified and quantified. The corresponding controls to manage the risks have also been documented. The framework also sets out the management action plan to improve on the system of controls in order to manage the risks more effectively. The risk profile of the Group has been compiled to help the Board and management to prioritize their focus on areas of high risks. The senior management is responsible for identifying, managing and reporting on significant risks on an ongoing basis. Significant risk matters are brought to the attention of the Executive Directors, and if necessary, are also discussed at Board meetings. Internal Audit The Board acknowledges the importance of the internal audit function and has outsourced the internal audit function to an independent firm of professionals to provide much of the assurance it requires on the effectiveness as well as the adequacy and integrity of the Groups systems of internal control. The costs incurred for the internal audit function for FY2011 was RM7,700. The internal audit function has adopted a risk-based approach in its audit work. The audit focused on areas with high risk, which were identified in the risk management framework, to ensure that the controls were functioning and where necessary, action plans were developed to improve on controls to manage significant risks. The internal audit function has presented its internal audit reports to the Audit Committee during the Audit Committee meetings. The internal audit function will continuously monitor the status of implementation of recommended action plans by the management and report on their progress in future Audit Committee meetings. Internal Control Apart from the risk management framework and internal audit function, the Group has put in place the following key elements of internal control: An organization structure with clearly defined lines of responsibility, authority and accountability; Regular Board and management meetings are held where information is provided to the Board and management covering financial performances and operations; Regular training and development programs are being attended by employees with the objective of enhancing their knowledge and competency; and Management accounts and reports are prepared monthly for monitoring of operating results.

The internal control system will continue to be reviewed, added on or updated in line with changes in the operating environment. Conclusion The Board is of the view that there were no significant weaknesses in the systems of internal control of the Group that had a material impact on the operations of the Group for FY2011. The Board remains committed to a sound system of internal controls and to progressively enhance the system to support the Groups operations. This statement was made in accordance with a resolution of the Board dated January 13, 2012.

The initial applications of the above applicable new FRSs, revised FRSs, IC Interpretations and amendments to FRSs is not expected to have any material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company, except as discussed below: (i) FRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures This new standard requires disclosures in financial statements that enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for the entitys financial position and performance, and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which an entity is exposed and how these risks are managed. This standard requires both qualitative disclosures describing managements objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks, and quantitative disclosures providing information about the extent to which an entity is exposed to risk, based on information provided internally to the entitys key management personnel. (ii) FRS 123 Borrowing Costs This new standard removes the option of immediately recognising as an expense borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. However, capitalisation of borrowing costs is not required for assets measured at fair value, and inventories that are manufactured or produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis, even if they take a substantial period of time to get ready for use or sale. (iii) Amendments to FRS 117: Leases Amendments to FRS 117 sets out the new requirement where leasehold land which is in substance a finance lease will be reclassified to property, plant and equipment. The Group has reassessed and determined that all leasehold land of the Group are in substance finance leases and accordingly, has reclassified the leasehold land to property, plant and equipment. The change in accounting policy has been made retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions of the amendment.

Carrying amount Property, plant and equipment Prepaid lease payments (iv) FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

This new standard establishes the principles for the recognition, derecognition and measurement of an entitys financial instruments and for hedge accounting. The impact of applying FRS 139 on the financial statements upon first adoption of this standard as required by paragraph 30(b) of FRS 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors is not required to be disclosed by virtue of exemptions provided under paragraph 103AB of FRS 139. (v) FRS 101 Presentation of Financial Statements (revised) The revised FRS 101 introduces changes in the presentation and disclosures of financial statements. The revised Standard separates owner and non-owner changes in equity. The statement of changes in equity includes only details of transactions with owners, with all non-owner changes in equity presented as a single line. The Standard also introduces the statement of comprehensive income, with all items of income and expense recognised in profit and loss, together with all other items of recognised income and expense directly in equity, either in one single statement, or on two linked statements. The Group and the Company have elected to present this statement as one single statement. There is no impact on profits for the financial year since these changes affect only the presentation of items of income and expenses. The Group and the Company have applied the transitional provisions in FRS 7 and FRS 139 which exempt entities from disclosing the possible impact arising from initial application of the respective standards on the financial statements of the Group and of the Company. (b) Functional and presentation currency These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the Companys functional currency. (c) Significant accounting estimates and judgements Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Groups accounting policies, reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on historical experience and other relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation or uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out below. (i) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment The costs of property, plant and equipment of the Group and of the Company are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful life of the assets. Management estimates the useful life of the plant and equipment as disclosed in Note 2(i)(iii). These are common life expectancies applied in the industry. Changes in the expected level of usage could have impact the useful life and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying amounts of the Groups and of the Companys property, plant and equipment as at 31 August 2011 are disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements. (ii) Impairment of investment in subsidiary companies The carrying values of investment in subsidiary companies and the related goodwill are reviewed for impairment. In the determination of the value in use of the investment, the Company is required to estimate the expected cash flows to be generated by the subsidiary companies and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying amount of the Companys investment in subsidiary companies as at 31 August 2011 is disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements.

2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (contd) (c) Significant accounting estimates and judgements (contd) (iii) Amortisation of development expenditure The research and development cost of the Group are amortised on a straight-line basis over the life spend of the asset. Management estimates the useful life of the assets to be 5 years. Changes in technological developments could impact the economic useful life and the residual value of this asset, therefore future amortisation charges could be revised. The carrying amounts of the Groups development expenditure as at 31 August 2011 are disclosed in Note 5 to the financial statements. (iv) Impairment of financial assets The Group and the Company assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial assets is impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, the Group and the Company considers factors such as the probability of significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. The carrying amount of the Groups and the Companys loans and receivables as at 31 August 2011 is disclosed in Notes 7 and 8 to the financial statements. (v) Income taxes There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement is involved especially in determining tax base allowances and deductibility of certain expenses in determining the Group-wide provision for income taxes. The Group recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. (d) Financial assets Financial assets are recognised on the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus in the case of financial assets not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Group and the Company determines the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition, and the categories include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. ( i ) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading or are designated as such upon initial recognition. Financial assets held for trading are derivatives (including separated embedded derivatives) or financial assets acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the near term. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or net losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss do not include exchange differences, interest and dividend income. Exchange differences, interest and dividend income on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised separately in profit or loss as part of other losses or other income. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss could be presented as current or non-current. Financial assets that are held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current whereas financial assets that are not held primarily for trading purposes are presented as current or non-current based on the settlement date. (ii) Loans and receivables Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as loans and receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. Loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for those having maturity dates later than 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as non-current.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (contd)


2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (contd) (d) Financial assets (contd) (iii) Held-to-maturity investments Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity are classified as held-to-maturity when the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold the investment to maturity. Subsequent to initial recognition, held-to-maturity investments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the held-to-maturity investments are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. Held-to-maturity investments are classified as non-current assets, except for those having maturity within 12 months after the end of the reporting period which are classified as current. (iv) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for sale are financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified in any of the three preceding categories. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Any gains or losses from changes in fair value of the financial asset are recognised in other comprehensive income, except that impairment losses, foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary instruments and interest calculated using the effective interest method are recognised in profit or loss. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment when the financial asset is derecognised. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an available-for-sale equity instrument are recognised in profit or loss when the Groups and the Company's right to receive payment is established. Investment in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment loss. Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected to be realised within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the period generally established by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised or derecognised on the trade date i.e., the date that the Group and the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset. (e) Impairment of financial assets The Group assess at the end of the reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. (i) Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Group consider factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the receivable and default or significant delay in payments. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group's past experience of collecting payments, an increase in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period and observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables. If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (contd) (e) Impairment of financial assets (contd) (ii) Unquoted equity securities carried at cost If there is objective evidence (such as significant adverse changes in the business environment where the issuer operates, probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the issuer) that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at cost has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the current market rate of return for a similar financial asset. Such impairment losses are not reversed in subsequent periods. (iii) Available-for-sale financial assets Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidence that investment securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are impaired. If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss. Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed in profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss. (f) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability. Financial liabilities, within the scope of FRS 139, are recognised on the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and the category includes the following: (i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities held for trading include derivatives entered into by the Group and the Company that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria. Derivative liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently stated at fair value, with any resultant gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange differences. The Group and the Company have not designated any financial liabilities as at fair value through profit or loss. (ii) Other financial liabilities The Groups and the Company's other financial liabilities include trade payables, other payables and loans and borrowings. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Payables are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Loans and borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. For other financial liabilities, gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in profit or loss.

2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (contd) (g) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies from the date that control effectively commences until the date that control effectively ceases through equity accounting which are made up to the end of the financial year. (i) Subsidiary companies Subsidiary companies are those companies in which the Group has long term equity interest and has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities, generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiary companies. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued or liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the date of acquisition, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair values of the subsidiary companies net assets is reflected as goodwill or reserve on consolidation as appropriate. The accounting policy on goodwill on acquisition of subsidiary companies is set out in Note 2(h). Reserve on consolidation is recognised immediately in statements of comprehensive income. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group to the date in which that control creases. Intra-group balances, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. 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 unimpaired balance of goodwill which were not previously recognised in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. (ii) Non-controlling interest Non-controlling interest represents the equity in subsidiaries not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and is presented separately in the statements of comprehensive income and within equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company. Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. Changes in the Company owners ownership interest in subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interest in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the Company. (iii) Changes in Group composition Where a subsidiary issues new equity shares to minority shareholders for cash consideration and the issue price has been established at fair value, the reduction in the Groups interests in the subsidiary is accounted for as a disposal of equity interest with the corresponding gain or loss recognised in the statements of comprehensive income. When a group purchases a subsidiarys equity shares from minority shareholders for cash consideration and the purchase price has been established at fair value, the accretion of the Groups interests in the subsidiary is accounted for as a purchase of equity interest for which the acquisition accounting method of accounting is applied. The Group treats all other changes in group composition as equity transactions between the Group and its minority shareholders. Any difference between the Groups share of net assets before and after the change, and any consideration received or paid, is adjusted to or against Group reserves. (h) Goodwill arising on consolidation Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the difference between the costs of the acquisition over the fair value of the net identifiable assets of subsidiary companies acquired at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Groups share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in the statements of comprehensive income.

2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (contd) (h) Goodwill arising on consolidation (contd) Following the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment. Goodwill is not amortised but instead, it is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently when there is objective evidence that the carrying value may be impaired, in accordance with Note 2(j). Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. (i) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The policy for the recognition and measurement of impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2(j). (i) Recognition and measurement Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other cost directly attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. (ii) Subsequent costs The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income as incurred. (iii) Depreciation Depreciation is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. Leasehold land is depreciated over the remaining lease period. The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Building Plant, machinery and equipment Furniture and office equipment Computers Motor vehicles The depreciable amount is determined after deducting the residual value. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed at each financial year end. Upon disposal of an asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is charged or credited to the statement of comprehensive income. On disposal of a revalued asset, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained profits. (j) Impairment of non-financial assets The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists then the assets recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is recognised directly against any revaluation surplus for the asset to the extent that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. A cashgenerating unit is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which it arises. 60 years 5 years 5 years 3 years 5 years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (contd)


2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (contd) (j) Impairment of non-financial assets (contd) The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The carrying amount of an asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss for an asset is recognised in statement of comprehensive income, unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, such reversal is treated as a revaluation increase. (k) Research and development expenditure Research expenditure is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income as an expense when incurred. Expenditure incurred on projects to develop new products is capitalised and deferred only when the Group can demonstrate the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale, its intention to complete and its ability to use or sell the asset, how the asset will generate future economic benefits, the availability of resources to complete the development and the ability to measure reliably the expenditure during the development. Product development which does not meet these criteria is expensed off when incurred. Capitalised development expenditure, considered to have finite useful lives, is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated commercial lives of the underlying products of 5 years. The amortisation period and method are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period and any changes in expectations from previous estimates are accounted for prospectively as changes in accounting estimates. (l) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate allowance has been made for all deteriorated, damaged, obsolete or slow-moving inventories. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity. Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses. (m) Hire purchase A lease is recognised as a finance lease if it transfers substantially to the Group and the Company all the risks and rewards incident to ownership. All other leases are treated as operating leases. Assets acquired by way of hire purchase or finance leases are stated at an amount equal to the lower of their fair values and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation and impairment. The corresponding liability is included in the statements of financial position as liabilities. In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount factor used is the interest rate implicit in the lease, when it is practical to determine; otherwise, the Groups or the Companys incremental borrowing rate is used. Hire purchase 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 value of the assets acquired, are recognised as an expense in the statements of comprehensive income over the term of the relevant lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charges on the remaining balance of the obligations for each accounting period. The depreciation policy for leased assets is consistent with that for depreciable property, plant and equipment which are owned. Lease rental under operating lease is charged to the statements of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. (n) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (contd) (n) Borrowing costs (contd) When the borrowings are made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of funds drawndown from that borrowing facility. When the borrowings are made generally, and used for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation are determined by applying a capitalisation rate which is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that are outstanding during the financial year. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the statements of comprehensive income in the period in which they are incurred. (o) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalent consist of cash in hand, bank balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which have an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalent are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits, if any. (p) Share capital Ordinary shares are recorded at the nominal value and proceeds in excess of the nominal value of shares issued, if any, are accounted for as share premium. Both ordinary shares and share premium are classified as equity. Cost directly attributable to the issuance of the shares is accounted for as deduction from share premium, otherwise, it is charged to the statements of comprehensive income. When shares are repurchased, the amount of consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is measured at cost and set off against equity. Shares repurchased and not cancelled are classified as treasury shares. Where treasury shares are reissued by re-sale in the open market, the difference between the sale consideration and the carrying amount is recognised in equity. Dividends on ordinary shares, when declared or proposed by the Director of the Company are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Upon approval and when paid, such dividends will be accounted for in the shareholders equity as an appropriation of unappropriated profit in the financial year in which the dividends are paid. (q) Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the enterprise and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. (i) Goods sold and services rendered Revenue from sales of goods and services measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable and is recognised when significant risk and rewards have been transferred to the buyer, if any, or upon performance of services, net of sales taxes and discounts. (ii) Rental income/Interest income Rental income and interest income are recognised as it accrues unless ability to collect is in doubt. (r) Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at yearend exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statements of comprehensive income. Non-monetary items initially denominated in foreign currencies, which are carried at historical cost are translated using historical rate as at the date of acquisition and non-monetary items which are carried at fair value are translated using the exchange rate that existed when the values were determined. (s) Provision of liabilities Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Group and of the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of a provision is the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.

2. Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies (contd) (t) Employee benefits (i) Short term employee benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensation absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick and medical leave are recognised when the absences occur. The expected cost of accumulating compensated absences is measured as additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement that has accumulated at the end of the reporting period. (ii) Defined contribution plans As required by law, companies in Malaysia make contributions to the state pension scheme, the Employees Provident Fund (EPF). Such contributions are recognised as an expense in the statements of comprehensive income in the period to which they relate. ( u ) Earnings per share The Group presents basis and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basis EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. ( v ) Income taxes Income tax on the profit or loss for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on the liability method for all temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base at the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future 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 temporary difference arises from goodwill or negative goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred tax asset and liability is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available. Deferred tax is recognised in the statements of comprehensive income, 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 to 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 or negative goodwill. (w) Segment reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment), or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.

30. Financial Instruments (contd) (g) Market risks (contd) (iii) Interest rate risk The Group obtains financing through other financial liabilities. The Groups policy is to obtain the financing with the most favourable interest rates in the market. The Group constantly monitors its interest rate risk and does not utilise interest swap contracts or other derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. At the end of the reporting period, there were no such arrangements, interest rate swap contracts or other derivative instruments outstanding. The carrying amounts of the Groups financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk are as follows: Group 2011 RM 2010 RM

Group Financial Asset Fixed deposit with a licensed bank Financial Liability Bank borrowings

852,281 20,886,178

823,462 11,932,135

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk arising from its short and long term debts obligations, and its fixed deposits. Fixed deposits interest rate is insignificant and any fluctuations in the rate would have no material impact on the results of the Group. (iv) Interest rate risk sensitivity An increase in market interest rates by 1% on financial assets and liabilities of the Group and of the Company which have variable interest rates at the end of the reporting period would decrease the profit before tax by RM200,339. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain unchanged. A decrease in market interest rates by 1% on financial assets and liabilities of the Group and of the Company which have variable interest rates at the end of the reporting period would have had the equal but opposite effect on the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain unchanged. (h) Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities (i) The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities, as reported in the financial statements, approximate their respective fair values. The carrying amount of these financial assets and financial liabilities are reasonable approximation of fair values, either due to their short-term nature or that they are floating rate instruments that are re-priced to market interest rates on or near the end of the reporting period. (ii) Fair value of financial instruments by categories that are not carried at fair value and whose carrying amounts are not reasonable approximation of fair value. 2011 Carrying amount RM Fair value RM Carrying amount RM 2010 Fair value RM

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (contd)


NOTES: A. This Agenda item is meant for discussion only as the provision of Section 169(1) of the Companies Act, 1965 and the Companys Articles of Association do not require a formal approval of the shareholders and hence, is not put forward for voting. Proxy A Member of the Company entitled to attend and vote is entitled to appoint up to two (2) proxies to attend and vote in his place. A proxy may but need not be a Member and the provisions of Section 149(1)(b) of the Companies Act, 1965 shall not apply to the Company. If a Member appoints two (2) proxies, the appointments shall be invalid unless he specifies the proportions of his holdings to be represented by each proxy. The instrument appointing the proxy shall be in writing, executed by or on behalf of the appointor. In the case of a corporate member, the instrument appointing a proxy must be either under its common seal or under the hand of its officer or attorney duly authorized. The instrument appointing a proxy must be deposited at the Registered Office, 57-G Persiaran Bayan Indah, Bayan Bay, Sungai Nibong, 11900 Penang at least 48 hours before the time for holding the Meeting or any adjournments thereof. Explanatory Note On Special Business: 1. Resolution pursuant to the Authority to issue Shares The proposed Resolution No. 9 [Item 6)], if passed, will grant a renewed general mandate (Mandate 2012) and empower the Directors of the Company to issue and allot shares up to an amount not exceeding in total ten per centum (10%) of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time and for such purposes as the Directors consider would be in the interest of the Company. In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a general meeting, it is thus appropriate to seek shareholders approval. This authority will, unless revoked or varied by the Company in general meeting, expire at the next Annual General Meeting of the Company. The Mandate 2012 will provide flexibility to the Company for allotment of shares for any possible fund raising activities, including but not limited for further placing of shares, for the purpose of funding future investment(s), acquisition(s) and/or working capital. As at the date of this Notice, the Company did not issue any shares pursuant to the mandate granted to the Directors at the Sixth Annual General Meeting. The Company did not issue any share pursuant to the mandate granted because there was no investment, acquisition or working capital that required fund raising activity. Director standing for election Pursuant to Para 8.27(2) of the Bursa Securities Listing Requirements, the details of Ms. Lim Mei Theng, a director standing for election is set out on page 7 of this Annual Report.
