CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT “Acacia Hybrid at SAFODA nursery in Telaga”

Dear Shareholders

2004 was indeed an eventful year. The Malaysian economy is expected to be on target to achieve a 7 percent growth
for 2004 with an outstanding 8 per cent growth in the first half of 2004 and a 6.8 percent growth in the third quarter.
This was despite a more trying worldwide and regional environment with the surge in oil prices, the re-emergence of
SARS and the tsunami devastation in the third and final quarter of 2004.

For 2005, the Malaysian economy is expected to remain resilient despite a slow down in the world economy due to the
high oil prices, inflationary pressures and potential interest rate hikes. The outlook for the timber industry is however,
expected to improve with increasing demand for plantation wood as a result of worldwide pressures championing
sustainable forest management practices. This coupled with the consumption trends for raw wood based products
from the region, notably China and Japan, is anticipated to fuel the positive outlook of the MIB Group.

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present this Annual Report and Financial Statements of Mangium Industries Bhd
for the financial year ended 31 December 2004.

YEAR 2004 SUMMARY AND HIGHLIGHTS

Despite the good fundamentals, the industry remains challenging. The Group recorded a turnover of RM41.9 million
and a pre-tax loss of RM9.9 million for the year under review compared to a turnover of RM25.1 million and a pre-tax
loss of RM13.7 million in 2003.

The year witnessed an increase in demand for plantation grown timber, more so for operators who subscribe to
sustainable forest management best practices as worldwide pressure mounts for users to be more responsible to the
environment. The Group’s timber division recorded a turnover increase by 149% while its loss before tax shrunk by
31% compared to the immediate preceding year.

It was also a year where our non-timber sector operated in an unprecedented taxing environment governed by raw
material price increases, the introduction of new government policies and taxes impacting liquor products, employment
of foreign workers as well as a general shrinking expenditure in advertising and printing in the local market. Despite
the unforgiving economic situation, the non-timber sector of the Group managed to pull in a modest profit. The
distribution and blending of alcoholic beverages division’s turnover declined marginally by 6% from 2003 while profit
before tax dropped by 5% compared to the earlier year. The printing division, however, charted a clear improvement,
with turnover and profit before tax increasing by 17% and 222% respectively over 2003.

I am also pleased to report that the Group’s ongoing Corporate Restructuring Scheme has received the approval from
the Securities Commission on 4 March 2005, rewarding the tremendous efforts put in by all parties who have toiled
tirelessly till this point. As the Group now embarks on the implementation of the Scheme, we can look forward to a
brighter future with an organization unimpeded by the shadow of its earlier financial obligations.

I am also happy to announce that our Joint Venture with Telaga Chipmill Sdn Bhd to build and operate a wood chip mill
in Telaga, Pitas is progressing smoothly, thereby securing the majority of sales of our plantation logs. With the current
increase in both demand and prices for quality wood chips from international buyers, I am confident that Telaga Chipmill
Sdn Bhd will increase their off-take of logs from the Group once they commence commercial production. This
mutually beneficial joint venture will also result in the Group participating by way of profit sharing from the sales of
9

“Acacia Mangium bark”

wood chips and shall contribute positively to the Group’s bottom line in the years to come. Another note worthy of
mention is that this wood chip mill project shall also directly and indirectly contribute to the development of the local
socio-economic status of the people in the area.

DIVIDENDS
After taking into consideration of the Company’s financial position, the Board does not recommend the payment of
dividends for the financial year ended 31 December 2004.

GOING FORWARD
The MIB Group’s core emphasis will remain focused on the consolidation of existing businesses, coupled with ongoing
planning for the future. In addition to the existing plantation division, the Group’s niche businesses in printing,
blending and distribution of alcoholic beverages, as well as media and content development are expected to form the
key engine of growth in the next few years.

In the meantime, to fuel growth and enhance profitability, efforts are ongoing within the Group to target markets and
products with higher margins. 2005 will also see the Group increasing its focus on customer service and adopting more
proactive approaches in Group costs savings to negate the ever rising production costs.

The outlook for the coming financial year is one of vigilance amid concerns and hinges upon trends in world oil prices,
the costs of raw materials and other global macroeconomic factors, the successful sourcing and retention of suitable
key staff, kind weather and operating conditions at our plantation among other factors.

In our effort to enhance internal controls and correspondingly, corporate governance of the Group, the Board of
Directors has appointed a firm to carry out internal audit reviews of companies in the Group. The internal auditors shall
report their findings and recommendations to the Audit Committee after conducting their audits to assist the
committee in formulating strategies and plans to further enhance and improve internal controls and operating
efficiencies of the Group.

OUR HEARTFELT THANKS


On behalf of the Board, I wish to express our appreciation to the management and staff of the Group for their hard work
and dedication. Our thanks also go towards the Malaysian government, the regulatory authorities, the media, our
customers, shareholders, bankers, advisors and business associates for their incalculable support and assistance. On
9 August 2004, Mr. Peter Wong has been designated Non Independent and Non-Executive Director. Besides that, there
were no other changes to the Board composition during the year. Having worked closely together during the past year
has given me the added assurance that each Board member is fully committed to working towards bringing the Group
to profitability and growth in the coming years. Finally, I wish to also record my appreciation to my fellow Directors for
their solid contribution and support during the year.

Thank you.

business, corporate information, financial statements and information on Audit Committee and Board of

provides shareholders with the opportunity to raise questions pertaining to the Group. The Chairman and the
Board will respond to the questions raised by the shareholders during the Annual General Meeting.

The Board has ensured each item of special business included in the notice will be accompanied by an

D. ACCOUNTABILITY AND AUDIT

The Board aims to present a balanced and understandable assessment of the Company and the Group’s position

Securities. The Directors are responsible to ensure the annual financial statements are prepared in accordance
with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia.

supported by reasonable and prudent judgments and estimates and all applicable approved accounting standards
have been followed in order to present a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group
as at the end of the financial year and of the profit or loss for the year.

The Directors in preparation of the financial statements have requested the Auditors to take whatever steps and
to undertake whatever inspections they consider to be appropriate to enable them to render their audit report.

2. Audit Committee
The Audit Committee consists of two (2) Independent Non-Executive Directors (One (1) of whom is the Chairman
of the Audit Committee) and one (1) Executive Director.

The current composition of the Audit Committee is in compliance with the requirement of Paragraph 15.10 (b) of
the Listing Requirements i.e. a majority of the members should be Independent Non-Executive Directors.

The Audit Committee Report is set out on pages 17 to 21 in this Annual Report.

3. Relationship with Auditors


The Audit Committee always maintains a transparent and professional relationship with the external Auditors. The
external Auditors attended most of the Audit Committee Meetings of the Company. From time to time, they
highlight to the Audit Committee and the Board on matters that require their attention.

The external Auditors also present at the Company’s Annual General Meeting and they work closely with the Board
in attending to questions raised by shareholders, specifically in relation to the financial reports of the Company.

4. Internal Control
The Directors acknowledge their responsibilities for maintaining a sound system of internal control to safeguard
shareholders’ investment and the Group’s assets. The internal control system covers not only financial controls
but operational and compliance controls, and risk management. The internal control system is designed to enable
the Company and the Group to manage the risk of failure to achieve business objectives. The internal control
system is designed to provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material misstatement and losses.
The Group is continuously looking into the adequacy and integrity of its systems of internal control.

The Directors are currently taking steps to enhance the Group’s overall control system which include:

• Clearly established policies and procedures;


• Regular review and update of policies and procedures to meet business needs;
• Clearly defined job responsibilities and appropriate segregation of duties;

Processes shall also be established for identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks facing the Group
in accordance with the guidance “Statement of Internal Control: Guidance for Directors of Public Listed
Companies” issued by the Bursa Securities.

“MR Print Office in Kepong”

D. STATEMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL


The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance sets out as a principal that the Board of Directors of a listed
company should maintain a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the
Group’s assets. The Board is committed to maintaining a sound system of the internal controls in the Group and
is pleased to provide the following statement in accordance with the Listing Requirements.

1. Key Processes
The Board has the overall responsibility for the Group’s system of internal control and for reviewing its
effectiveness. However, the system of internal control is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risk of
failure to achieve business objectives, and can provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material
misstatement and losses. The internal control system covers not only financial controls but operational and
compliance controls, and risk management.

The Board and management are responsible for the ongoing identification, evaluation and managing of significant
risks.

During the financial year ended 31 December 2004 and prior to signing of the published financial statements, the
Board has continued its ongoing process of identifying, evaluating and managing of key financial, operational and
compliance risks facing the business. Details are as follows:

• The Board receives and reviews regular reports from management on the business’ performances updates
of the Group and on current regulatory matters. The Board adopts and approves appropriate policies or
amendments to the Group’s policies and procedures;
• The Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, reviews and holds discussions with management on the
actions on internal control issues identified by both the management and by the external Auditors;
• There is an organisation structure with clearly defined authority lines;
• Management holds weekly meetings to review operational matters which include sales and marketing,
production, debtors’ collection and cashflow. Detailed minutes are recorded during these meetings;
• The Audit Committee reviews and approves the quarterly financial results. The Audit Committee reports the
quarterly financial results to the Board for their adoption and approval; and
• The Board holds periodic meetings to review operations of the Company.

2. Weaknesses in Internal Control Resulting in Material Losses


There were no material losses incurred during the current financial year as a result of weaknesses in internal
control. The management of the Company continues to take measures to strengthen the internal control
environment.

3. Summary
The Board is pleased to disclose that the Group’s internal control systems are adequate in line with the Code given
the current level of activities of the Group.

• STATUTORY INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Before the income statements and balance sheets of the Company and of the Group were made out, the directors took
reasonable steps:-

doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate provision
had been made for doubtful debts; and

(b) to ensure that any current assets, other than debts, which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of
business their value as shown in the accounting records of the Company and of the Group have been written down
to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.

At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances:-

(a) which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of provision for doubtful debts in the
financial statements of the Company and of the Group inadequate to any substantial extent; or

(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Company and of the
Group misleading; or

(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the
Company and of the Group misleading or inappropriate.
27

No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve
months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the directors will or may substantially affect the
ability of the Company or of the Group to meet its obligations when they fall due.

At the date of this report, there does not exist:-

(a) any charge on the assets of the Company or of the Group which has arisen since the end of the financial year
which secures the liabilities of any other person; or

(b) any contingent liability in respect of the Company or of the Group which has arisen since the end of the financial
year.

• OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION


At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the
financial statements which would render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.

In the opinion of the directors,

(a) the results of the operations of the Company and of the Group during the financial year were not substantially
affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature; and

(b) there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of this report any item,
transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the operations of
the Company and of the Group for the financial year in which this report is made.

• AUDITORS
The retiring auditors, PKF, have expressed their willingness to be re-appointed in accordance with Section 172 (2) of
the Companies Act, 1965.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 DECEMBER 2004

1. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of its subsidiary companies
are described in Note 12 to the financial statements.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The financial statements of the Company and of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the provisions
of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


All significant accounting policies set out below are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year.

(a) Basis of Accounting


The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention modified by the revaluation of
certain property, plant and equipment.

(b) Basis of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiary companies as mentioned in Note 12 to the financial statements made up to the end of the
financial year. The subsidiary companies are consolidated on the acquisition method of accounting except
Mangium Sawmill Sdn Bhd. Mangium Plantations Sdn Bhd is consolidated on the merger method of
accounting in accordance with the provisions of the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board No. 21.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of the subsidiary companies acquired or disposed
during the financial year are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. The
difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary companies at
the date of acquisition is reflected as goodwill or reserve on consolidation as appropriate.

Under the merger method of accounting, the results of the subsidiary companies are presented as if the
merger had been effected throughout the current and previous financial years.

All significant inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation and the consolidated financial
statements reflect external transactions only.

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment


Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation, amortisation
and impairment losses. The cost of other property, plant and equipment comprises their purchase cost and
all incidental costs of acquisition. However, such assets acquired since the last valuation are maintained at
cost.

The long leasehold land is amortised over the remaining leasehold periods of between 51 to 927 years. No
depreciation is provided on infrastructure work in progress. Depreciation on other property, plant and
equipment is charged on the straight line basis so as to write off the cost of the property, plant and
equipment over their expected useful lives at the following rates:-
34

(c) Property, Plant and Equipment (cont’d)


(i) Buildings, log yard and infrastructure 5% - 10%
(ii) Equipment, furniture and fittings 10%
(iii) Plant, machinery and motor vehicles 10% - 20%
(iv) Renovation 10%
(v) Vessels 20%
(vi) Signboard 10%

Revaluation of land and buildings is undertaken every 5 years. Surplus arising from revaluation is credited
directly to revaluation reserve. Deficit in excess of the revaluation reserve arising from previous revaluation
is charged to the income statement. In all other cases, the deficit will be charged to the income statement.

In previous years, the depreciation rate on road included in Log Yard and Infrastructure was 5%. With effect
from 1 January 2003 the Company changed its accounting policy in which the road is depreciated over
the remaining concession period of 56 years to 58 years. The effects on the change in accounting policy
are disclosed in Note 9 and Note 11 to the financial statements.

(d) Subsidiary Companies


Subsidiary companies are companies controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has
power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of the subsidiary companies so
as to obtain benefits from their activities. The financial statements of the subsidiary companies are
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control effectively commences until the
date that control effectively ceases.

Investment in subsidiary companies is stated at cost except when directors are of the opinion that there is
a permanent diminution in value of an investment. In such event, provision in diminution in value of the
investment will be made.

(e) Impairment of assets


The carrying amounts of the Group’s and Company’s assets and inventories are reviewed at each balance
sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the
asset’s recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable
amount is less than the carrying amount of the assets. The impairment loss is recognised in the income
statement immediately except for the impairment on revalued assets where the impairment loss is
recognized directly against the revaluation surplus account to the extent of the surplus credited from the
previous revaluation for the same assets with the excess of the impairment loss charged to the income
statement. All reversals of an impairment loss are recognised as income immediately in the income
statement except for the reversal of impairment loss on revalued assets where the reversal of the
impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase and credited to the revaluation surplus account of the
same assets.

(f) Financial Instruments


Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has become a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
35

(f) Financial Instruments (cont’d)


Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the
contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as
a liability, are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as
equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally
enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the
liability simultaneously.

(i) Trade Receivables


Trade receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identified.
An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts as at the balance
sheet date.

(ii) Trade Payables


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

(iii) Interest-Bearing Borrowings


Interest-bearing bank borrowings are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction
costs.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are capitalised
as part of the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are ready for their intended use or
sale. All other borrowing costs are charged to the income statement as an expense in the period in
which they are incurred.

(iv) Equity Instruments


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

(g) Provisions for Liabilities


Provisions for liabilities are recognised when the Group 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 each balance sheet
date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimates. 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.

(h) Inventories
Inventories comprise logs, timber products, alcoholic beverages, concentrates, bottling, packing,
advertising materials and printing materials. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable
value. Cost in respect of these inventories is stated on the weighted average cost basis. The cost of
finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of materials and, where applicable, the cost of direct
labour and appropriate overheads.
36

(i) Goodwill on Consolidation


The difference between the purchase price and the value of the net assets of the subsidiary companies at
the date of acquisition is included in the consolidated balance sheet as goodwill or reserve arising on
consolidation. Goodwill is retained in consolidated balance sheet at cost and is amortised over a period of
twenty years commencing from 12th December 2002.

(j) Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, bank overdrafts, deposits and other short-term
highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of
change in value.

(k) Hire Purchase and Lease


Property, plant and equipment under finance lease and hire purchase that give rights approximating to
ownership are capitalised in the financial statements and the corresponding obligation treated as a liability.
The total interest, being the difference between the total instalments payable and the capitalised amount, is
charged to the income statement over the period of the lease and hire purchase in proportion to the balance
of capital repayments outstanding.

(l) Income Tax


Income tax on the profit or loss for the year comprised current and deferred tax. Current tax is the
expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profits for the year and is measured using
the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are provided for under the liability method at the current tax rate in respect
of all temporary differences 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 profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences or unused tax losses can be utilised.

In prior years, deferred tax was provided for at the applicable current tax rates for all material timing
differences where it was reasonable probable that such timing differences where it was reasonable
probable that such timing differences will not crystallize in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax
benefits were recognised only when there was reasonable assurance of their realisation.

(m) Employee Benefits


(i) Short term 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.

(ii) Defined contribution plan


Contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund are charged to the income statement in the year to
which they relate.
37

(m) Employee Benefits (cont’d)


(iii) Termination benefits
Employee termination benefits are payments due to employees as a result of redundant employment
and are recognised when the Group has a detailed formal plan for termination and has made a
decision to offer the termination benefits and the employees have accepted voluntary redundancy in
exchange for those benefits.

(n) Foreign Transactions


Transactions arising in foreign currencies during the financial year have been converted into Ringgit
Malaysia at the exchange rate ruling at the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at
balance sheet date have been translated into Ringgit Malaysia at rates of exchange approximating those
ruling at that date. Exchange gains and losses have been taken to the income statement.

The principal closing rate used in translation of foreign currency amount is as follows:-

2004 2003
RM RM

Foreign Currency
1 US Dollar 3.80 3.80

(o) Revenue Recognition

statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. These standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain all the information and explanations, which we considered necessary to
provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes an assessment of the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the
financial statements. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion :-
a) the financial statements are properly drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and
the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of :
(i) the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company as at 31 December 2004 and of the results of their
operations and the cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year ended on that date; and

(ii) the matters required by Section 169 of the Companies Act, 1965 to be dealt with in the financial statements
of the Group and of the Company;
and
b) the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Companies Act, 1965 to be kept by the
Company and by the subsidiaries of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with
the provisions of the said Act.
We have considered the financial statements and the auditor’s report thereon of the subsidiaries of which we have not
acted as auditors, as indicated in Note 12 to the financial statements.

We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Company’s
financial statements are in form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the
consolidated financial statements and we have received satisfactory information and explanations required by us
for those purposes.

The auditors’ report on the financial statements of the subsidiaries were not subject to any qualification and did not
include any comment made under subsection (3) of Section 174 of the Act.
