8 ANNUAL REPORT 2006<br />

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT<br />

Dato’ Dr. Nik Abd. Rashid @ Nik Idris bin Ismail<br />

Independent Non-Executive Director / Chairman<br />

“Dear Shareholders,<br />

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I have great<br />

pleasure in presenting the 2006 Annual Report<br />

and the Audited Financial Statements of Kosmo<br />

Technology Industrial Berhad (“Kosmo Tech”) and<br />

its Group of Companies (“the Group”) for the<br />

financial year ended 31 December 2006.”


BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW<br />

2006 - A Year of Acquisitions and Breakthrough Developments<br />

Alhamdulillah, Praise be to Allah the Almighty, that the Group has<br />

persisted through the year in our respective fields, in order to realise<br />

our business objectives and also to fulfill our responsibilities to you, our<br />

shareholders.<br />

The Company was listed on 30 June 2005 on the second Board of <strong>Bursa</strong><br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong> Securities Berhad (“<strong>Bursa</strong> Securities”), and we have been<br />

fortunate to have the exceptional dexterity of the Group Managing<br />

Director, Norhamzah Nordin, and his team in leading the Group to<br />

ensure that our debut did not pass by unnoticed. Their vision, passion<br />

and determination to succeed have provided the much required<br />

foundation to support and strengthen the employees’ dedication and<br />

teamwork. Through our different subsidiaries, the Group has<br />

succeeded in charting a few breakthrough developments this year<br />

which can make us proud to be <strong>Malaysia</strong>ns.<br />

The Company’s first landmark decision for the year 2006 was to enter<br />

the rapidly developing mobile telecommunications industry in the<br />

local and global markets. It was noted that, despite strong mobile<br />

phone sales in <strong>Malaysia</strong>, with more than 4 million units sold in 2005<br />

alone,there was no domestic mobile phone developer and manufacturer.<br />

The Company carried out a thorough research to analyse this<br />

relatively new industry and study its intricacies before finally deciding<br />

it was time for <strong>Malaysia</strong> to present a local player and become the 13th<br />

country to produce this smart device for world consumption.<br />

Hence, on 6 January 2006, the Company made an announcement to<br />

<strong>Bursa</strong>, on the acquisition of 30 per cent share in <strong>Malaysia</strong>’s first and only<br />

full-fledged mobile phone Research and Development (R&D)<br />

company, M Dot Mobile Sdn Bhd (“M.Mobile”).The Company signed a<br />

share purchase agreement to acquire 1.8 million ordinary shares in the<br />

MSC <strong>Malaysia</strong>-status company for RM11 million and entered into a<br />

strategic collaboration agreement to develop mobile phones which<br />

would be sold in <strong>Malaysia</strong> and around the world. Following this pact,<br />

the Company has been able to exercise a greater influence in the<br />

mobile phone maker’s business direction, apart from allowing it to<br />

share in the future growth and profits of M.Mobile.<br />

And it was with pride that I and my fellow directors welcomed the<br />

arrival of our beloved Prime Minister, YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Haji<br />

Ahmad Badawi on 24 February 2006 at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel,<br />

<strong>KOSMO</strong> TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIAL BERHAD 9<br />

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT<br />

(CONT’D)<br />

Kuala Lumpur, where he would go on to proclaim how happy he was<br />

with M.Mobile’s determination to place <strong>Malaysia</strong> on the global mobile<br />

communications map by introducing the M10, the company’s first<br />

model and <strong>Malaysia</strong>’s first hand phone.<br />

M.Mobile’s feat was not the only ‘first’ in the Company’s Hall of Fame<br />

last year. A few months later, our 100% wholly owned automotive<br />

subsidiary, Kosmo Motor Company Sdn Bhd (“Kosmo Motor”) added<br />

another feather to our cap when the company successfully introduced<br />

its own locally designed Compressed Natural Gas (“CNG”) bus chassis<br />

prototype. This first <strong>Malaysia</strong>n design was unveiled during the Kuala<br />

Lumpur International Motor Show (“KLIMS”) 2006, which attracted<br />

some 330,000 visitors (from www.maa.org.my) between 26 May to 4<br />

June 2006 at the Putra World Trade Centre, Kuala Lumpur. Remaining<br />

true to the Group tagline of “Fuelled by R&D, Driven by Technology,<br />

Providing for the Global Community”, Kosmo Motor’s breakthrough<br />

project was made possible through its collaboration with reputable<br />

Asian associates, namely Yangzhou Yaxing of China and Doosan<br />

Infracore of South Korea.<br />

The Company announced yet another acquisition on 25 May 2006 of a<br />

27.6 per cent stake in Loremo AG (“Loremo”) a German carmaker and<br />

automotive R&D company devoted to produce economically and<br />

ecologically friendly cars. Subsequently, on 25 Aug 2006, the<br />

acquisition was revised to a 20 per cent stake. As a major shareholder<br />

of Loremo, the Company now expects to play a significant role in the<br />

latter’s business development while at the same time leveraging on<br />

Loremo’s expertise to enhance Kosmo Motor’s R&D capabilities.<br />

The new relationship presented Kosmo Motor with another<br />

opportunity to shine at its inaugural participation in the 2006 KLIMS<br />

through the unveiling of the revolutionary Loremo L22.This four seater,<br />

with a fuel efficiency rate of 1.5 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres,<br />

attracted and enticed the endless crowds to the Kosmo Motor booth<br />

during the 10-day exhibition not only because of its eye-catching<br />

design and friendly-on-the-pocket promises but also because a<br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong>n company had become part of this pioneering venture.<br />

AN OVERVIEW OF THE MALAYSIAN BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT<br />

2006 - A Significant Year for the <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Economy<br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong>’s total trade for the year exceeded RM1.069 trillion, allowing<br />

the nation entry into the league of top exporting nations such as<br />

Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Germany and the Netherlands, and the


10 ANNUAL REPORT 2006<br />

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT<br />

(CONT’D)<br />

country’s trade surplus rose to RM108.46 billion, an 8.7% increase from<br />

RM99.78 billion in 2005.The overall sentiment throughout the country<br />

was that of new optimism, new prospects and of new conquests.<br />

(Source: NST article, 4 March 2007)<br />

In this positive environment, the Prime Minister launched the Ninth<br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong> Plan (“9MP”) to steer the country into the future with another<br />

structured fifteen-year term blueprint aiming for an equitable nation.<br />

The first five years, dubbed the National Mission, highlights five key<br />

thrusts; firstly, to move the economy up the value chain; secondly to<br />

raise the capacity for knowledge and innovation, and nurture first class<br />

mentality; thirdly to address persistent socio-economic inequalities<br />

constructively and productively; fourthly to improve the standard and<br />

sustainability of the quality of life and the last objective being to<br />

strengthen the country’s institutional and implementation capacity by<br />

establishing a more effective implementing and monitoring mechanism.<br />

The first and second thrusts of the 9MP to move the economy up the<br />

value chain and increase the country’s capacity for knowledge and<br />

innovation respectively provide immediate and direct opportunities<br />

for Kosmo Tech’s contributions. The former cites among its main<br />

emphasis to “generate new sources of wealth in technology and<br />

knowledge intensive sectors” whilst the latter aims to “nurture top<br />

quality R&D, science and innovation”, among its other goals. The<br />

identified areas of focus overlap with Kosmo Tech’s overarching vision<br />

of becoming a leading <strong>Malaysia</strong>n corporation with a strong R&D<br />

foundation to enable the creation of a global brand name and worldclass<br />

products. Guided by the mission to empower itself with a strong<br />

R&D foundation, the company has continuously selected high<br />

technology projects which bring together expertise from different<br />

disciplines and in various levels of proficiency. In our own small way, we<br />

hope that Kosmo Tech will be able to play a role in supporting the new<br />

<strong>Malaysia</strong> Plan towards the country’s march to realise Vision 2020.<br />

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT<br />

2006 - Performance of Kosmo Tech Group<br />

The various developments and activities implemented within the<br />

Group have resulted in the Group recording a total revenue of RM96.40<br />

million for the financial year ended 31 December 2006, as compared to<br />

RM85.14 million in the same period last year.The profit before taxation<br />

decreased slightly from RM20.11 million in financial year 2005 to<br />

RM17.96 million in 2006. However, this year’s profit after taxation<br />

increased to RM10.26 million from RM4.83 million last year.


As at 31 December 2006, total shareholders’ funds stood at RM59.22<br />

million with 7.98 sen fully diluted earning per share.<br />

Moving forward,the Group expects to further strengthen its position in<br />

the local and global markets, particularly in the mobile<br />

communications and commercial vehicle sectors, by constantly<br />

enhancing in-house R&D capabilities and seeking out more mutually<br />

beneficial strategic alliances.<br />

2006 - Another Year of Appreciation, Another Year of Expectations<br />

The year 2006 has brought valuable experiences to all of us within the<br />

Group; we learnt to adopt and adapt to the ways of the corporate<br />

world, we learnt to face the myriad challenges and obstacles in the<br />

local and global markets, and we also learnt that, contrary to the<br />

mathematical formula of the shortest way to a destination is a straight<br />

line, the path to success is not straight and nor is it short.<br />

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S OPERATIONAL REVIEW<br />

Norhamzah bin Nordin<br />

Group Managing Director<br />

“On behalf of the Board of Directors of Kosmo<br />

Technology Industrial Berhad, I have great<br />

pleasure in presenting the Annual Report and<br />

Financial Statements of the Group for the<br />

financial year ended 31 December 2006.”


<strong>KOSMO</strong> TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIAL BERHAD 13<br />

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S OPERATIONAL REVIEW<br />

(CONT’D)<br />

The Kosmo Technology Industrial Berhad Group of Companies (“the<br />

Group”) recorded a better performance this year from that of 2005,<br />

resulting from the increased activities of all the subsidiaries and<br />

associate company. As explained by the Chairman in his statement on<br />

page 28, the Group’s overall profit of RM10.26 million was mainly<br />

contributed by the automotive division in the Group. Our main thrust<br />

of harnessing technology and enhancing our R&D foundation<br />

continues to be the core driving factor in our daily operations.<br />

There have been several new developments within the Group and<br />

quite a few alliances have been sealed with leaders of industries from<br />

overseas, which have further strengthened the Group’s reputation as<br />

a new <strong>Malaysia</strong>n corporate citizen with global aspirations and<br />

universal appeal.<br />

REPORTS ON THE MAIN ACTIVITIES OF INDIVIDUAL SUBSIDIARIES<br />

Outlook and Prospects<br />

Kosmo Motor Company Sdn. Bhd.<br />

The automotive arm of the Group, Kosmo Motor Company Sdn. Bhd.<br />

(“Kosmo Motor”),which positions itself as a full-fledged commercial vehicle<br />

manufacturer with design capabilities, has proven worthy of its aspiration<br />

with the two major highlights of the year.These are the unveiling of the first<br />

CNG bus chassis prototype to be designed and developed by a <strong>Malaysia</strong>n<br />

company and the sneak peak at the Loremo L22, an affordable,<br />

environmentally-friendly car which will be jointly produced with Loremo<br />

AG of Germany. Production is scheduled for 2008 and Kosmo Motor hopes<br />

to see the L22 plying <strong>Malaysia</strong>n highways by 2010.<br />

The company entered 2006 on an optimistic note, having been<br />

appointed in January as the exclusive importer and distributor of<br />

China’s FOTON commercial vehicle in the <strong>Malaysia</strong>n market. This was<br />

shortly followed in March 2006 by Fiat’s appointment of Kosmo Motor<br />

as the franchise holder of its commercial vehicle range.With these two<br />

global brands, Kosmo Motor now has the potential to supply the full<br />

range of commercial vehicles from vans to trucks and buses to local<br />

and international clients.<br />

In April 2006, Kosmo Motor received the much anticipated licence<br />

from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) which<br />

permitted the company to manufacture bus chassis and bus body kit<br />

as part of its undertaking, and it was soon after this that <strong>Malaysia</strong> was<br />

introduced to the first prototype CNG bus chassis designed and<br />

developed by <strong>Malaysia</strong>ns for the global community.<br />

During the second half of 2006, having secured MITI’s approval in<br />

September to import and assemble commercial vehicles from China,<br />

Kosmo Motor was appointed the licensed assembler for FOTON<br />

commercial vehicles to be sold in South East Asia. Intent on fulfilling<br />

the company’s mission to introduce <strong>Malaysia</strong>n technology to the<br />

world, another exciting opportunity presented itself when the<br />

<strong>KOSMO</strong> brand of CNG city buses caught the attention of senior<br />

officials from government and quasi government authorities in Peru.<br />

The increasing concerns of global warming has led to many countries<br />

and companies exploring alternative fuels and new ways of doing<br />

things as a united effort to protect our earth. The introduction of<br />

<strong>KOSMO</strong> CNG buses is therefore very timely and the company is<br />

poised to offer this world-class product to fulfil the needs in<br />

environmentally-conscious markets. As a first step into the global<br />

market, Kosmo Motor appointed Diaveco SAE of Peru to become its<br />

distributor for the green public transportation vehicle in Peru, with<br />

limited rights in other South American countries.<br />

According to the <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Automotive Association statistics, there<br />

were a total of 70,384 commercial vehicles registered between<br />

January and June of 2006, as compared to a total of 97,820 units for<br />

the whole year in 2005 and 70,948 in 2004. These figures indicate an<br />

increasing demand for commercial vehicles and with its original<br />

Made-In-<strong>Malaysia</strong> CNG bus chassis completing the range of<br />

commercial vehicles on offer, Kosmo Motor is confident of acquiring<br />

a bigger share of the local market in the months to come.<br />

In view of this, the company has moved to its new premises in Berjaya<br />

Park, Section 32, Shah Alam, which houses the headquarters as well as<br />

the bus chassis manufacturing plant, the central warehouse and also<br />

the Sales, Service and Spare Parts (3S) centre for all vehicles sold by<br />

Kosmo Motor. The year ended on a high note with the company’s<br />

official handing over of the first 30 Kosmo diesel city buses to Syarikat<br />

Prasarana Negara Berhad for its Rapid KL service.<br />

Business Plans for 2007<br />

For the coming year, Kosmo Motor expects to ramp up its R&D efforts<br />

on four more bus chassis namely the 7m, 9m, 10.5m and 11m variants<br />

of the 12m buses, as well as CNG variants for all types. The current<br />

range offers 12m Diesel City Bus, 12m CNG Bus, 12m Diesel Express<br />

and Stage bus, which are targeted for sale in the local and<br />

international markets. Also in the pipeline are plans to study the<br />

feasibility of bringing in trucks and other models, which may be of<br />

interest to local commercial enterprises and also those in other

(CONT’D)<br />

ASEAN countries. Kosmo Motor has begun preparations to provide a<br />

wider range of such vehicles by offering not only Foton Alpha View<br />

models with Euro 2 engine, but also Fiat Ducato and Fiat Doblo vans<br />

with Euro 4 engines. The Foton Forland model in the light duty<br />

category is also expected to be well-received, along with the CNG<br />

converted Foton Alpha View model.<br />

The company has received various enquiries from prospective local<br />

and international clients; including local city bus and express bus<br />

operators and countries such as Peru, Bolivia, Bangladesh, Egypt,<br />

Pakistan, Tunisia, Benin and Kenya.<br />

NAGATREND SDN. BHD.<br />

This stalwart of the Group continued its substantial contribution to<br />

overall profits, making up 29% of group revenue and 35% of net profit<br />

(2005: 54% of revenue, 52% of net profit). Meanwhile, its subsidiary<br />

Nagatrend Engineering Sdn Bhd, which provides various auto<br />

engineering services contributed 32% to overall net profit and 20% to<br />

overall revenue (2005:27% to Group net profit,27% to Group revenue).<br />

Apart from its engineering services, Nagatrend is a well known<br />

designer and supplier of various auto accessories and components,<br />

ranging from safety kits and storage compartments, fire<br />

extinguishers, warning triangles, inner rear view mirrors and step<br />

plates as well as car care products such as grooming kits, coolants and<br />

lubricants.The company also owns the Intellectual Property rights for<br />

many of these locally developed products. Being the oldest and<br />

longest established company in the Group, Nagatrend’s reputation<br />

has strengthened over the years to earn it a renowned clientele<br />

including some of the giants in the local and international auto<br />

industry such as Proton and Perodua, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and<br />

others.<br />

This past year, the Nagatrend division advanced into ‘greener’ areas<br />

with its NGV section. It received, in May 2006, certification from the<br />

Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) for the 57 litre<br />

NK cylinders to be fitted into passenger cars and another certification<br />

from the Road Transport Department (JPJ) which enabled the<br />

company to run an NGV workshop through Altospektra Sdn Bhd.<br />

Later in the same month, following a successful exhibition of NGV cars<br />

at the KLIMS 2006, Nagatrend succeeded in converting the first<br />

vehicle into a full NGV mode of transport. As a testimony of its worldclass<br />

technology and first-class quality service, Nagatrend secured its<br />

first fleet order for NGV conversion in December 2006.


<strong>KOSMO</strong> TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIAL BERHAD 15<br />

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S OPERATIONAL REVIEW<br />

(CONT’D)<br />

The coming year looks promising for Nagatrend and Nagatrend<br />

Engineering Sdn Bhd, with various new projects lined up for several<br />

industry giants, and the company hopes to be able to maintain its<br />

substantial share of profit contribution. Supplying automotive<br />

accessories as well as lubricants and car care products to local OEMs,<br />

supplying NGV retrofitting products to the local market and<br />

providing Central Inventory Management services for OEMs as well as<br />

Integrated Facilities Management services are some of the activities<br />

which will keep Nagatrend busy throughout 2007.<br />

Another subsidiary company, Kosmo Mobile Manufacturing Sdn.<br />

Bhd., has since become solely focused on manufacturing mobile<br />

phones for the Group’s associate company, M Dot Mobile Sdn. Bhd.<br />

<strong>KOSMO</strong> MOBILE MANUFACTURING SDN. BHD.<br />

Established in 1997 as Nagatrend Plastic Sdn. Bhd., this company used<br />

to specialise in plastic injection moulding for the automotive industry<br />

before diversifying into mobile phone manufacturing in October<br />

2005. Originally focusing on manufacturing phones for M.Mobile, the<br />

company was named Kosmo Mobile Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd.<br />

(“Kosmo Mobile”) and upon inception, it became the first locally<br />

owned mobile phone manufacturing company in the country. The<br />

company’s vision is “to become a reputable mobile phone<br />

manufacturer with original design manufacturing (ODM) and original<br />

equipment manufacturing (OEM) capabilities”.<br />

Kosmo Mobile’s main focus is currently on communications<br />

technology as it strives to be the region’s best mobile phone<br />

manufacturer by the year 2010, offering a wide range of services<br />

including design, sourcing, new product introduction, supply change<br />

management, global manufacturing and excellent after-sales service.<br />

Kosmo Mobile is committed to continuously improve and develop its<br />

operating procedures, processes and systems to enhance the<br />

company’s competitiveness and that of our customers.<br />

Kosmo Mobile’s state-of-the-art plant in Seksyen 15, Shah Alam, has a<br />

two million-per-year production capacity with lines that are flexible<br />

enough to produce multiple models. There are five main assembly lines,<br />

five test lines,two PCB assembly lines and two packing lines.The company<br />

is currently in the process of fulfilling the ISO 9001:2000 requirements.


16 ANNUAL REPORT 2006<br />

GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR’S OPERATIONAL REVIEW<br />

(CONT’D)<br />

For 2007, Kosmo Mobile aims to become the sole OEM for M.Mobile,<br />

assembling all models planned for this year and re-packaging semiknocked<br />

down (SKD) and completely knocked down (CKD) units.The<br />

company is also geared up to support M.Mobile in setting up its<br />

assembly plants in Saudi Arabia, Iran and Zambia to support<br />

M.Mobile’s joint venture partnerships in the abovementioned<br />

countries.<br />

Kosmo Mobile posted a net profit of RM3.04 million on total revenue<br />

of RM42.45 million in 2006 and expects to perform better in 2007<br />

with the numerous projects lined up for the year.<br />

M DOT MOBILE SDN. BHD. (M.MOBILE)<br />

As a 30% owned associate company of Kosmo Tech, M.Mobile posted<br />

a loss of RM1.23 million in its maiden year of commercialisation. In<br />

line with its aim to become a pioneer in the local mobile<br />

communications technology sector, M.Mobile succeeded in<br />

introducing its first model within eight months of commencing R&D<br />

work and when it did so, M.Mobile not only became the 13th mobile<br />

phone producing country in the world but also the only one in the<br />

South East Asian region.<br />

Other milestones achieved by this fledgling but resourceful company<br />

are:<br />

• February 2006 - Official launching of M10<br />

• April 2006 - M.Mobile, through its sole distributor VC<br />

Communications Sdn. Bhd., held the ‘Konsert Aura & Karnival<br />

M.Mobile’ at Stadium Negara, in appreciation of its customers’<br />

loyal support and also as a brand-building exercise<br />

• September 2006 - launch of M10 Hajj, in collaboration with<br />

Tabung Haji Technologies Sdn. Bhd., dedicated to provide useful<br />

guides and information on the Umrah and Haji pilgrimages<br />

• October 2006 - held the i-Metro prize giving ceremony for Harian<br />

Metro readers who sent in the best MMS to the newspaper’s icommunity<br />

For 2007, M.Mobile plans to introduce 14 new models including 3G<br />

phones and a Smartphone for the sophisticated mobile phone users<br />

of the 21st century. The company will also aggressively widen its<br />

product reach to include other countries in the West Asian, African<br />

and Eastern European continents.<br />

FUTURE PLANS AND PROSPECTS<br />

The Group’s total number of employees has risen this year to 111,<br />

from 103 in 2005, and the number is expected to increase by the end<br />

of the year to help achieve the Group’s business objectives for 2007.<br />

The move into high technology sectors and the various efforts in<br />

developing original designs for mobile phones and commercial<br />

vehicles, apart from the auto accessories, will hopefully help to<br />

further strengthen the Group’s position as a local company with a<br />

strong emphasis on R&D.<br />

There will be several new developments in 2007 within the Kosmo<br />

Tech group, which we believe would mutually benefit all our<br />

stakeholders and thus, we look forward to your constant support.<br />

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND APPRECIATION<br />

On behalf of the Board of Kosmo Technology Industrial Berhad, I<br />

would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation<br />

to my fellow directors, management and staff for their loyal,<br />

undivided commitment and dedication during the year and I look<br />

forward to their continued invaluable contribution to the Group in<br />

the future.<br />

I also wish to thank our valued shareholders, bankers, customers,<br />

suppliers, business associates and government agencies for their<br />

continued support to the Group.<br />

18 ANNUAL REPORT 2006<br />

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

The Board of Directors of the Company acknowledges and<br />

endorses the importance of enhancement of corporate<br />

governance requirements, outlined in the <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Code of<br />

Corporate Governance (“the Code”) and Listing Requirements of<br />

<strong>Bursa</strong> Securities. It is the Board’s responsibility and commitment<br />

to ensure that the principles and best practices of the Code are<br />

observed, and that the high standards of Corporate Governance<br />

are being practised throughout the Group (Company and its<br />

subsidiary companies), thereby safeguarding the assets of the<br />

Group and its shareholders’ investments. Ongoing evaluation will<br />

be carried out from time to time to reassess and refine the<br />

governance framework towards enhancing the Group’s business<br />

growth and corporate accountability.<br />

The Board is pleased to disclose below the Group’s application<br />

and the extent of its compliance with the best practices of the<br />

Code throughout the financial year ended 31 December 2006.<br />

PRINCIPLES OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE<br />

A. BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />

i ) The Board<br />

The Company operates under the overall control of the<br />

Board, which is ultimately accountable for the strategic<br />

directions of the Group’s activities and competent<br />

management of the Group’s business operations and<br />

performance, as well as enhancing its risk management<br />

processes and structures.<br />

The Executive Directors frequently attend the Group’s<br />

management meetings wherein operational details and<br />

other issues were discussed and considered. For financial<br />

year ended 31 December 2006, the Board had met on six<br />

(6) occasions. All proceedings from the meetings are<br />

minuted and signed by the chairman of the meetings.<br />

The Board has scheduled at least five (5) meetings for the<br />

next financial year, to consider proposals or other matters<br />

that require the Board’s immediate attention. The Board<br />

will have a formal schedule of matters specifically<br />

reserved for its attention to ensure that it exercises full<br />

control over significant strategic, financial, operational<br />

and compliance matters including the review and<br />

approval of quarterly results.<br />

ii) Board Balance<br />

The Board consists of six (6) Directors, comprising three (3)<br />

Executive Directors, one (1) Non-Executive Director and<br />

two (2) Independent Non-Executive Directors. They are<br />

responsible for the strategic direction and control of the<br />

Company.<br />

The composition of Independent Non-Executive Directors<br />

make up one-third of the Board as set out in the Listing<br />

Requirements of <strong>Bursa</strong> Securities, which requires at least<br />

two (2) Directors or one-third of the Board of Directors,<br />

whichever is higher, and who are Independent Directors.<br />

The Board retains full control over the Company and<br />

monitors the Management. The Board of Directors<br />

meetings are chaired by the Chairman whose role is<br />

clearly separate from the role of the Group Managing<br />

Director.This is to ensure a balance of power and authority.<br />

The Group Managing Director, together with the Group<br />

Executive Director and the Chief Financial Officer, is<br />

responsible for implementing the policies and decisions of<br />

the Board, overseeing and managing the day-to-day<br />

operations as well as the development and implementation<br />

of the company’s business and corporate strategies.<br />

The presence of Independent Non-Executive Directors<br />

brings an additional element of check and balance to the<br />

Board, and is crucial in providing independent views,<br />

advice and judgement to the Board in the interest of the<br />

shareholders and stakeholders.


The Company believes that the mix of industry-specific<br />

knowledge and broad commercial experience allows the<br />

Board to provide clear and effective leadership to the<br />

Company, besides allowing an independent judgement of<br />

many aspects of the Company’s strategy and performance.<br />

iii) Supply of Information<br />

Board meetings are structured with a pre-set agenda<br />

providing the Directors with relevant and timely<br />

information to enable them to properly deliberate the<br />

matters before the meetings. Board papers which contain<br />

updates on operational, financial and corporate<br />

developments are circulated in advance of meetings to<br />

provide the Directors with sufficient time to obtain further<br />

explanation, clarification, if so required and to facilitate<br />

informed decision-making.<br />

The Board has direct access to the senior management<br />

including the Company Secretary for information<br />

pertaining to the Company’s affairs and may, if necessary<br />

obtain independent professional advice from external<br />

consultants.<br />

The Company Secretary’s responsibility is to ensure that<br />

the Board proceedings are adhered to at all times during<br />

meetings and would advise the Board on matters relating<br />

to corporate governance issues and directors’responsibilities<br />

in compliance with the relevant legislations and regulations.<br />

In addition, the Board exercises control on matters that<br />

requires its approval through Directors’ Resolutions.<br />

v) Appointments to the Board<br />

The Board believes that the current composition of the<br />

Board brings the required skills and core competencies<br />

for the Board to discharge its duties effectively. The Code<br />

endorses, as good practice, a formal procedure for<br />

appointments to the Board with the Nomination<br />

Committee making recommendations to the Board. In line<br />

with this, the Company had on 25 August 2005 set up a<br />

Nomination Committee.<br />

The appointment of any additional Director is made when<br />

necessary. In the process of nominating and appointing<br />

new Directors, due consideration is given to experience<br />

and mixed expertise for an effective Board. The Company<br />

Secretary will ensure that all appointments are properly<br />

made, and that legal and regulatory requirements are met.<br />

vi) Re-election of Directors<br />

In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association,<br />

all Directors who are appointed by the Board are subject<br />

STATEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

The Board of Directors is pleased to outline the following statement<br />

on the state of internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries<br />

(“the Group”) for the financial year ended 31 December 2006. The<br />

system of internal control is based on an ongoing process designed to<br />

identify the principal risks of the Group’s policies, goals and objectives<br />

and to evaluate the nature and extent of those risks and manage<br />

them efficiently and effectively. This statement was prepared in<br />

accordance with paragraph 15.27 (b) of the Listing Requirements of<br />

<strong>Bursa</strong> Securities, and the Statement of Internal Control: Guidance for<br />

Directors of Public Listed Companies issued by the Institute of Internal<br />

Auditors <strong>Malaysia</strong> and adopted by <strong>Bursa</strong> Securities.<br />

THE BOARD’S RESPONSIBILITY<br />

The Board acknowledges its overall responsibility for the Group’s<br />

system of internal control and risk management which includes the<br />

establishment of an appropriate control environment and<br />

framework as well as reviewing its adequacy and integrity.<br />

The Board recognises the need to have a formal ongoing process for<br />

identifying, evaluating and managing the significant risks faced by<br />

the Group.The Board also recognises that a good control system will<br />

assist the achievement of corporate objectives. However, in view of<br />

the limitations inherent in any system of internal control, the system<br />

is designed to manage rather than to eliminate the risk of failure to<br />

achieve corporate objectives. It can only be relied on to provide<br />

reasonable and not absolute assurance against material<br />

misstatement of management or financial information against any<br />

financial losses or fraud. The concept of reasonable assurance also<br />

recognises that the cost of control procedures should not exceed<br />

the expected benefits.<br />

The Company is committed to maintain a sound internal control<br />

system to safeguard the Company’s assets and shareholders’<br />

investments. The Board is pleased to outline below, the nature and<br />

scope of the Company’s internal control during the year.<br />

The responsibility for reviewing the adequacy and integrity of the<br />

internal control system has been delegated to the Audit Committee<br />

and this committee obtains the assurance of the adequacy and<br />

integrity of the internal control system, through independent<br />

reviews conducted by the internal audit function, external auditors<br />

and Management. In order to achieve a sound internal system, the<br />

Board provides a control environment and a framework that is<br />

conducive to these objectives.<br />

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES<br />

The Group is progressively developing and enhancing its group<br />

operating policies and procedures to address the changing<br />

environment of its business operations and practices, and has<br />

developed flow charts to ensure that their reporting and<br />

compliance objectives are met,and that all personnel receive a clear<br />

message regarding their role in the internal control system.<br />

The key processes carried out to review the adequacy and integrity<br />

of the internal control system include conducting regular<br />

Management meetings between the Group Managing Director, the<br />

Group Executive Director and the Chief Financial Officer and all the<br />

Senior Management of all the subsidiary companies, to deliberate<br />

on operational matters and issues and gauge the effectiveness of<br />

strategies implemented.<br />

KEY ELEMENTS OF INTERNAL CONTROL PROCESSES<br />

integrity of the internal control system are important elements to<br />

enable good corporate governance.<br />

A well-defined Group organisation structure with proper lines of<br />

responsibilities are properly delegated to the Board committees, the<br />

Group’s Management and operating units of the Group. The key<br />

responsibilities are properly segregated in order that no employee<br />

has total control of any transaction.<br />

Clearly documented Standard Operating Procedures Manuals<br />

outline the policies and procedures for day to day operations.<br />

An annual budget is prepared to facilitate monitoring of the Group’s<br />

financial performance and the review of actual monthly<br />

performance against the budget.<br />

An appropriate accounting and reporting system to ensure proper<br />

and correct recording of financial data and key business indicator<br />

for management review and action.<br />

The internal audit function, which reports directly to the Audit<br />

Committee, conducts reviews on the system of internal control and<br />

the effectiveness of the process management in place to identify,<br />

manage and report risks. Weaknesses are properly communicated<br />

to management and staff to ensure prompt corrective actions are<br />

taken.


Reporting from the external auditor to the Audit Committee on<br />

audit findings and highlighting of areas to improve (if any).<br />

The Audit Committee holds regular meetings to deliberate on<br />

findings and recommendations for improvement by both the<br />

internal and external auditors on the state of the internal control<br />

system, and reports back to the Board.<br />

discuss on operational, financial, corporate and key Management<br />

issues. The matters discussed are as follows;<br />

effectiveness in managing principal risks.The internal audit function<br />

focuses on areas of priority, and when any significant weaknesses<br />

have been identified, improvement measures are recommended to<br />

has been instituted throughout the Group is satisfactory and has<br />

not resulted in any material losses that would require disclosure in<br />

the Group’s Annual Report. Notwithstanding this, the Board will<br />

continue to review the control procedures to ensure the<br />

INFORMATION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps:-<br />

themselves that there were no bad debts to be written off and adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts; and<br />

(b) to ensure that any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business including their values as shown in the<br />

accounting records of the Group and of the Company have been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.<br />

At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:-<br />

(a) which would render it necessary to write off any bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the<br />

Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or<br />

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

(c) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading<br />

or inappropriate.<br />

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<br />

financial year which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may affect the ability of the Group and of the Company to meet its obligations as and when<br />

they fall due.<br />

At the date of this report, there does not exist:-<br />

(a) any charge on the assets of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year which secures the liability of any<br />

other person; or<br />

(b) any contingent liability of the Group and of the Company which has arisen since the end of the financial year.<br />

OTHER STATUTORY INFORMATION<br />

The Directors state that:-<br />

At the date of this report, they are not aware of any circumstances not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements which would<br />

render any amount stated in the financial statements misleading.<br />

In the opinion of the Directors:-<br />

(a) the results of operations of the Group and of the Company during the financial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction or<br />

event of a material and unusual nature; and<br />

(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<br />

and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of operations of the Group and of the Company for the current financial year in which<br />

this report is made.<br />

EMPLOYEES’ SHARE OPTION SCHEME (“ESOS”)<br />

<strong>KOSMO</strong> TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRIAL BERHAD<br />

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

31 DECEMBER 2006<br />

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and<br />

applicable MASB Approved Accounting Standards in <strong>Malaysia</strong> for Entities Other Than Private Entities.<br />

2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES<br />

The Group’s financial risk management policy seeks to ensure that adequate financial resources are available for the development of the Group’s<br />

business whilst managing its risks.The Group operates within policies that are approved by the Board of Directors and the Group’s policy is not to<br />

engage in speculative transactions.<br />

The main areas of financial risks faced by the Group and the policy in respect of the major areas of treasury activity are set out as follows:-<br />

(a) Foreign currency risk<br />

The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of its normal operating activities, both external and intra-group where the currency<br />

denomination differs from the local currency, Ringgit <strong>Malaysia</strong> (RM). The Group’s policy is to minimise the exposure of overseas activities to<br />

transaction risk by matching local currency income against local currency costs.<br />

(b) Interest rate risk<br />

The Group’s policy is to borrow principally on the floating rate basis but to retain a proportion of fixed rate debt. The objectives for the mix<br />

between fixed and floating rate borrowings are set to reduce the impact of an upward change in interest rates while enabling benefits to be<br />

enjoyed if interest rates fall.<br />

(c) Credit risk<br />

The credit risk is controlled by the application of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. An internal credit review is conducted if<br />

the credit risk is material.<br />

(d) Market risk<br />

For key product purchases, the Group establishes floating and fixed price levels that the Group considers acceptable and enters into physical<br />

supply agreements, where necessary, to achieve these levels. The Group does not face significant exposure from the risk of changes in price<br />

levels.<br />

(e) Liquidity and cash flow risks<br />

The Group seeks to achieve a balance between certainty of funding even in difficult times for the markets or the Group and a flexible, costeffective<br />

borrowing structure. This is to ensure that at the minimum, all projected net borrowing needs are covered by committed facilities.<br />

Also, the objective for debt maturity is to ensure that the amount of debt maturing in any one year is not beyond the Group’s means to repay<br />

and refinance.<br />

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

(a) Accounting convention<br />

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise indicated in<br />

the other significant accounting policies.<br />

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are presented in its functional currency, Ringgit <strong>Malaysia</strong> (RM).<br />

(b) Adoption of Financial Reporting Standards (“FRS”)<br />

(c) Deferred FRS 139 - Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement<br />

The <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Accounting Standards Board has yet to announce the effective date of this standard.<br />

(c) Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements<br />

Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements.They affect the application<br />

of the Group’s accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on<br />

an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable<br />

under the circumstances.<br />

(i) Key sources of estimation uncertainty<br />

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have significant<br />

risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below:-<br />

Impairment of goodwill<br />

The Group determines whether goodwill are impaired at least once annually. This requires the estimation of the value in use of the cashgenerating<br />

units to which goodwill are allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future<br />

cash flows from the cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.<br />

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)<br />

(i) Key sources of estimation uncertainty (cont’d)<br />

Income taxes<br />

The Group is exposed to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgement is involved in determining the Group-wide<br />

provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during<br />

the ordinary course of business.The Group recognised tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due.Where the<br />

final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax<br />

and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.<br />

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment<br />

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated in a straight-line basis over their useful life. Management estimated the useful life of these<br />

assets to be within 5 years except for the long leasehold land which is 50 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological<br />

developments could impact the economic useful life and the residual values of these assets, therefore future depreciation charges could<br />

be revised.<br />

Amortisation and development costs<br />

The development costs are amortised in a straight-line basis over the life span of the developed assets. Management estimated the useful<br />

life of these assets to be within 3 years. Changes in the technological developments could impact the economic useful life and the residual<br />

values of these assets, therefore future amortisation charges could be revised.<br />

The Group carried out impairment test based on a variety estimation including the value-in-use of Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) to which<br />

the development costs are allocated. Estimating the value-in-use requires the Company to make an estimate of the expected future cash<br />

flows from the CGU and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The carrying<br />

amount of development costs of the Group as at 31 December 2006 is RM21,337,827 (2005: RM194,439).<br />

(d) Basis of consolidation<br />

The Group financial statements consolidate the audited financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiary companies, which have<br />

been prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.<br />

All inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are<br />

also eliminated on consolidation unless cost cannot be recovered.<br />

The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies are all drawn up to the same reporting date.<br />

Acquisition of subsidiary companies is accounted for using the purchase method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of<br />

the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the<br />

acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at<br />

their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any minority interest.<br />

Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and<br />

contingent liabilities represents goodwill. Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy for goodwill stated in Note 3 (l).<br />

Any excess of the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of business<br />

combination is recognised as income on the date of acquisition.<br />

Minority interests represent the portion of profit or loss and net assets in subsidiary companies not held by the Group. They are presented in<br />

the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from the parent shareholders’equity, and are separately disclosed in the consolidated<br />

income statement.<br />

Subsidiary companies are consolidated using the purchase method of accounting from the date on which control is transferred to the Group<br />

and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases.<br />

The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary company is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of its net assets<br />

together with any unamortised balance of goodwill on acquisition and exchange differences.

(e) Subsidiary companies<br />

A subsidiary company is a company in which the Group or the Company either directly or indirectly owns a power to govern the financial and<br />

operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities.<br />

Investment in subsidiary companies is stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the subsidiary<br />

companies is assessed and written down immediately to their recoverable amount.<br />

(f ) Associate companies<br />

An associate company is a company in which the Company or the Group is in the position to exercise significant influence over its financial<br />

and operating policies through management participation but not to exert control over those policies.<br />

Investment in associate companies are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using equity accounting which involves<br />

recognising in the income statement the Group’s share of the results of associate companies based on audited financial statements of the<br />

associate companies. The Group’s investment in associate companies are carried in the balance sheet at an amount that reflects its share of<br />

the net assets of the associate companies. Equity accounting is discontinued when the carrying amount of the investment in an associate<br />

company reaches zero, unless the Group has incurred obligations or guaranteed obligations in respect of the associate company.<br />

Investment in associate companies is stated at cost. Where an indication of impairment exists, the carrying amount of the associate company<br />

is assessed and written down immediately to their recoverable amount.<br />

(g) Foreign currency translation<br />

Transaction in foreign currencies are recorded in <strong>Malaysia</strong>n Ringgit at rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transactions. Foreign<br />

currencies monetary assets and liabilities are translated at balance sheet date.<br />

Gains and losses from conversion of short term assets and liabilities, whether authorised or unrealised, are included in the income statement<br />

as they arise.<br />

All other foreign exchange differences are taken to the income statement in the financial year in which they arise.<br />

(h) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation<br />

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost<br />

less accumulated depreciation and less any impairment losses. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on a straight line<br />

method in order to write off each property, plant and equipment over its estimated useful lives.<br />

The principal annual depreciation rates used are as follows:-<br />

Long leasehold land and building 2%<br />

Computers 20%<br />

Plant and machineries 20%<br />

Furniture and fittings 20%<br />

Office equipment 20%<br />

Motor vehicles 20%<br />

Renovations 20%<br />

Restoration cost relating to an item of the property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure is expected to increase the<br />

future benefits from the existing property, plant and equipment beyond its previous assessed standard of performance.<br />

Property, plant and equipment are written down to recoverable amount if, in the opinion of the Directors, it is less than their carrying value.<br />

Recoverable amount is the net selling price of the property, plant and equipment i.e. the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an<br />

arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.<br />

The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period<br />

of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied<br />

in the items of property, plant and equipment.<br />

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)<br />

(h) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation (cont’d)<br />

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or<br />

disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in the income statements in the financial year the asset is derecognised.<br />

(i) Inventories<br />

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value after adequate allowance has been made for deteriorated, obsolete and<br />

slow moving inventories.<br />

Cost of raw materials is determined using weighted average method. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods is determined using the<br />

first-in-first-out basis, which approximates the actual cost and includes direct materials, labour and an appropriate proportion of<br />

manufacturing overheads.<br />

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated<br />

costs necessary to make the sale.<br />

(j) Investments<br />

Investment is shown at cost and allowance is only made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is a diminution in value. Diminution in<br />

the value of an investment is recognised as an expense in the period in which the diminution is identified.<br />

Marketable securities are carried at the lower of cost and market value, determined on an aggregate portfolio basis by category of investment.<br />

Cost is derived using the weighted average basis. Market value is calculated by reference to stock exchange quoted selling prices at the close<br />

of business on the balance sheet date. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of marketable securities are credited or charged to the<br />

income statement.<br />

On disposal of an investment,the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged or credited to the income statement.<br />

(k) Research and development costs<br />

Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.<br />

Research and development cost are expensed in the period in which they are incurred except when the cost incurred on development project<br />

are recognised as development assets to the extent that such expenditure is expected to generate future economic benefits.<br />

Development cost initially recognised as an expense is not recognised as an asset in subsequent periods.<br />

Capitalised development cost, considered to have finite useful life, is amortised on a systematic basis over their expected useful lives which is<br />

3 years commencing from the time when the product is available for sale and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that<br />

the development cost may be impaired. Should the product or project be aborted, the relative expenditure will be charged to the income<br />

statement in the period in which such decision is made.<br />

The amortisation period and the amortisation method for the development cost with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year end.<br />

The amortisation expense on development cost with finite useful life is recognised in the income statement in the expenses category.<br />

(l) Deferred tax assets and liabilities<br />

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are provided for under the liability method at the current tax rate in respect of all temporary differences<br />

between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base including unused tax losses and capital allowances.<br />

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible<br />

temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each balance sheet date. If it is no longer<br />

probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised, the carrying<br />

amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available, such<br />

reductions will be reversed to the extent of the taxable profit.<br />

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on<br />

tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except<br />

when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in<br />

equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)<br />

(m) Goodwill<br />

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of subsidiary company acquired over the Group’s share of the fair values of their<br />

separable net assets at the date of acquisition.<br />

The goodwill arose from the listing of and quotation for the Company on the Second Board of <strong>Bursa</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong> in the previous year is written<br />

off immediately against the unappropriated profit. Other goodwill will be retained in the Group’s balance sheet and subject to annual<br />

impairment review.<br />

(n) Receivables<br />

Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Bad debts are written off in the year in which they are identified. An estimate is made<br />

for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the financial year end.<br />

(o) Payables<br />

Payables are stated at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received.<br />

(p) Cash and cash equivalents<br />

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, balances with banks, short term demand deposits and highly liquid investments which are<br />

readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.<br />

(q) Assets acquired under hire purchase and lease agreements<br />

The cost of property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase arrangements is capitalised. The depreciation policy on these assets<br />

is similar to that of the Group’s property, plant and equipment depreciation policy. Outstanding obligation due under the hire purchase<br />

agreements after deducting finance expenses are included as liabilities in the financial statements. Finance charges on hire purchase<br />

agreements are allocated to income statement over the period of the respective agreements.<br />

(r) Revenue recognition<br />

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised upon delivery of goods.<br />

Income from rental and interest are included in the income statement when the right to receive has been established.<br />

(s) Financial instruments<br />

Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, investments, receivables, payables and borrowings. The<br />

particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual accounting policy statements associated with each item.<br />

Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends,<br />

gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability are reported as expense or income. Distribution to holders of financial<br />

instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity.<br />

Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle<br />

on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.<br />

(t) Impairment of assets<br />

At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.<br />

Intangible assets with indefinite useful life such as goodwill is tested for impairment at least once annually or more frequently if events or<br />

changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.<br />

If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount is estimated and an<br />

impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount of the asset or a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount.<br />

Recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use.<br />

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects<br />

current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Impairment losses of continuing operations are<br />

recognised in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.<br />

An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the income statement immediately, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount. Any<br />

impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of any unutilised previously recognised revaluation<br />

surplus for the same asset.<br />

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont’d)<br />

(t) Impairment of assets (cont’d)<br />

An assessment is made at each balance sheet date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses for an<br />

asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A<br />

previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset recoverable<br />

amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no<br />

impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.<br />

All reversals of impairment losses are recognised as income immediately in the income statement unless the asset is carried at revalued<br />

amount, in which case the reversal in excess of impairment loss previously recognised through the income statement is treated as revaluation<br />

increase. After such a reversal, the depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the revised carrying amount of the asset, less<br />

any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life.<br />

An impairment loss recognised for goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.<br />

(u) Interest-bearing borrowings<br />

Interest-bearing borrowings are recorded at the amount of proceeds received.<br />

All borrowing costs are recognised as expenses in the income statement in the year in which they are incurred.<br />

(v) Borrowing costs<br />

Borrowing costs attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset during periods when activities necessary to prepare the<br />

asset for its intended use are in progress, are capitalised as a component of the cost of the asset. Such capitalisation ceases when substantially<br />

all activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use are completed.<br />

All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.<br />

(w) Employee benefits<br />

(i) Short term benefit<br />

Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are<br />

rendered by employees of the Company. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when<br />

services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating<br />

compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.<br />

(ii) Defined contribution plan<br />

The Company’s contribution to defined contribution plan are charged to the income statement in the year in which they relate.<br />

(iii) Equity Compensation benefits<br />

The Employee Share Option Scheme (“ESOS”) allows the Group’s employees to acquire shares of the Company. No compensation cost or<br />

obligation is recognised. When the options are exercised, equity is increased by the amount of the proceeds received.<br />

(x) Segmental results<br />

Segment revenues and expenses are those directly attributable to the segments and include any joint revenue and expenses where a<br />

reasonable basis of allocation exists. Segment assets include all assets used by a segment and consist principally of cash, receivables,<br />

inventories, intangibles and property, plant and equipment, net of provision and accumulated depreciation and amortisation. While most of<br />

such assets can be directly attributed to the segments on a reasonable basis. Segment assets and liabilities do not include deferred income<br />

taxes.<br />

(y) Intersegment transfer<br />

Segment revenues, expenses and result include transfers between segments. The prices charged on intersegment transactions are the same<br />

as those charged for similar goods to parties outside of the Group at arm’s length transactions.These transfers are eliminated on consolidation.<br />

(z) Dividends<br />

Dividends on ordinary shares are accounted for in shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of unappropriated profits in the period in which<br />

they are declared and approved.
