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.
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
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.
Thank you.

• SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
On 27 February 2004 the Company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Mangium Sawmill Sdn Bhd has not
paid, and is deemed to have defaulted in its repayments on facilities granted by two financial institutions which are
unsecured amounting to RM11,028,329 as at 31 January 2005. Currently the Company is in active negotiations with
the financial institutions to normalise and regularise their banking facilities.
26
(i) The proposed debt settlement between the Company and the secured and unsecured creditors amounting to
RM58.52 million be made by way of a combination of new MIB shares, Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan
Stocks (“ICULS”), Redeemable Convertible Secured Loan Stocks (“RCSLS”) and cash payment;
(ii) The proposed renounceable rights issue of RM16 million nominal value zero coupon 5-year ICULS together with
16 million free detachable Warrants attached on the basis of RM1.00 nominal value ICULS be made with one (1)
free detachable Warrant attached for every two (2) existing MIB shares held together with an additional RM8
million nominal value ICULS, which would serve as the up-front coupon of 10% per annum for the RM16 million
ICULS for a period of five (5) years;
(iii) The proposed joint-venture between MIB and Telaga Chipmill Sdn Bhd (“TCSB”) be established;
(iv) The proposed employee share option scheme for executive directors and eligible employees of MIB and its
subsidiary companies be adopted; and
(v) The proposed increase in the authorized share capital of MIB from RM50million comprising 50 million MIB shares
to RM200 million comprising 200 million MIB shares be made.
The net tangible assets at 31 December 2004 was RM758,184. The Company’s Restructuring Proposals when fully and
successfully implemented in total would maintain the Group’s net tangible assets at the current level if not increase it.
(a) to ascertain that action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of provision for
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.
(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.
(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

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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
(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
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.

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.
