The Board views corporate governance as synonymous with three key concepts, namely transparency, accountability as well as corporate performance. As such, the Board strives to adopt the substance behind corporate governance prescriptions and not merely the form, with the aim of ensuring board effectiveness in enhancing shareholder value. The Board is thus fully committed to the maintenance of high standards of corporate governance by supporting and implementing the prescriptions of the principles and best practices set out in Parts 1 and 2 of the Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance (“Code”) respectively. The following statement sets out how the Company has applied the key principles and the extent of its compliance with the best practices throughout the financial year ended 31 December 2003. A. Board of Directors Board Responsibilities The Board of Directors plays a primary role in corporate governance by setting out the strategic direction of the Group, establishing goals, monitoring the achievement of the goals and ensuring a high degree of transparency and accountability towards all stakeholders. The key responsibilities of the Board are in tandem with the 6 principal responsibilities specified under Best Practice AAI of the Code. Meetings The Board met four (4) times during the financial year ended 31 December 2003.

Tun Dato’ Seri Dr Lim Chong Eu has been identified as the Senior Independent Non-Executive Director of the Board to whom concerns may be conveyed. Board Balance The Board currently has seven (7) members, comprising two (2) Independent Non-Executive Directors and five (5) Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors.

A brief description of the background of each Director is presented on pages 10 to 15 of the Annual Report. There is a clear division of responsibility between the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Operating Officer (CEO/COO) to ensure that there is a balance of power and authority. The Chairman is responsible for running the Board and ensures that all Directors receive sufficient relevant information on financial and non-financial matters to enable them to participate actively in Board decisions. The CEO/COO is responsible for the day to day management of the business as well as implementation of Board’s policies and decisions. There is also balance in the Board because of the presence of Independent Non-Executive Directors of the calibre necessary to carry sufficient weight in Board decisions. Although all the Directors have an equal responsibility for the Group’s operations, the role of these Independent Directors is particularly important in ensuring that the strategies proposed by the executive management are fully discussed and examined and take into account the long term interest, not only of the shareholders, but also of employees, customers, suppliers, community and other stakeholders. The Board is satisfied that the current Board composition fairly reflects the investment of minority shareholders in the Company. Supply of Information The Chairman ensures that all Directors have full and timely access to information with Board papers distributed in advance of meetings. Every Director has also unhindered access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary and may obtain independent professional advice at the Company’s expense in furtherance of their duties. Prior to the meetings of the Board, Board papers which include reports on group performance and major operational, financial, strategic and regulatory matters are circulated to all the Directors. These Board papers are issued at least seven (7) days in advance to enable the Directors to obtain further explanation, where necessary, in order to be properly briefed before the meeting. 19 20 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Statement on Corporate Governance In addition, there are matters reserved specifically for the Board’s decision, including the approval of corporate plans and budgets, acquisitions and disposals of assets that are material to the Group, major investments, changes to control structure of the Group, including key policies and authority limits.

The CEO/COO and members of management are also present at the AGM to clarify and explain any issue. D. Accountability and Audit Financial Reporting DiGi aims to provide a balanced and meaningful assessment of the Group’s financial performance and prospects primarily through the annual report, quarterly financial statements and analyst presentations. The Board is assisted by the Audit Committee in overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process and the quality of its financial reporting. DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Statement of Directors’ Responsibility in Respect of the Financial Statements The Directors are required by the Companies Act, 1965 to prepare financial statements for each financial year/period which have been made out in accordance with the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and of the Company and of the results and cash flows of the Group and of the Company for that year/period. In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to: • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; • state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; • make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Group and of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act, 1965. The Directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Internal Control The Statement on Internal Control set out on pages 24 to 26 of the Annual Report provides an overview on the state of internal controls within the Group. Relationship with the Auditors Key features underlying the relationship of the Audit Committee with the external auditors are included in the Audit Committee’s terms of reference as detailed on pages 27 to 30 of the Annual Report. A summary of the activities of the Audit Committee during the year, including the evaluation of the independent audit process, are set out on page 27 of the Annual Report. 23 24 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Statement on Internal Control Introduction The Board of Directors (“Board”) are committed to maintaining a sound system of internal control in the Group and is pleased to provide the following statement, which outlines the nature and scope of internal control of the Group during the financial year. Board Responsibility The Board is ultimately responsible for the Group’s system of internal control which includes the establishment of an appropriate control environment and framework as well as reviewing its adequacy and integrity. The system of internal control covers, inter alia, risk management and financial, organizational, operational and compliance controls. Because of the limitations that are inherent in any system of internal control, this system is designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failure to achieve the Group’s objectives. Accordingly, it can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. It is possible that internal controls can be circumvented or overridden. Furthermore, because of changing circumstances and conditions, the effectiveness of an internal control system may vary over time. Key Elements of the System of Internal Control The following sets out the key elements of the system of internal control of the Group, which have been in place throughout the financial year and up to the date of the Directors’ Report. There is in place a clearly defined organizational structure within the Group with formally defined lines of responsibility and delegation of authority. A process of hierarchical reporting has been established which provides for a documented trail of accountability. Significant changes in the business and the external environment are reported to the Board during the Board meetings. Quarterly financial and other information are also provided to the Audit Committee and the Board. This oversight review enables the Board to control and evaluate the business performance so as to ensure that the Group is achieving its corporate objectives. The role of the Audit Committee in respect of its review of the system of internal controls is described in the Audit Committee Report included in this annual report. There is also submission of monthly financial and operational information to the Operating Committee (the composition of which has been approved by the Board) that includes the monthly and year-to-date financial results and comparisons to the pre-determined key performance indicators. Based on this monitoring of results against budget, significant variances are identified and management action taken, where necessary. DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) There is an annual budgeting and business plan process where the operating units would prepare budgets for the forthcoming financial year and for which these are approved by the Operating Committee and the Board. The Operating Committee also review quarterly forecasts prepared and submitted by the management. Other control procedures include the establishment of appropriate limits of authority for the Board, the Operating Committee and senior management for appropriate approval of transactions. There are established policies on health and safety, employees training and development, staff performance and evaluation. These procedures are relevant across the Group’s operations and provide for continuous assurance to be given to management and, finally to the Board. Enterprise Risk Management Framework The Board with the assistance of the internal audit function reviewed the risk management processes of the various operating businesses units with the aim of strengthening the risk management functions across the Group. The consolidated risk profile of the Group was updated during the financial year. A summary of the key findings was subsequently submitted to the Audit Committee for consideration. For the purposes of further enhancing the Group’s risk management process, the following initiatives would be undertaken in 2004: • A Risk Management Committee, to be headed by the Chief Executive Officer, shall be established with the responsibility of identifying and communicating to the Board via the Audit Committee, the critical risks (present and potential) the Group faces, their changes, and the management action plans to manage the risks. • A full time dedicated Risk Officer shall coordinate the enterprise risk management within the Group. • A Risk Management Manual will be issued which outlines the risk management framework for the Group and offers practical guidance to all employees on risk management issues. • There will be a requirement to submit quarterly risk management reports to the Heads of functions for reporting to the Group Risk Management Committee. 25 26 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Statement on Internal Control Internal Audit Function The Group has in place an internal audit function, which assists the Board in conducting appropriate reviews to ensure that key controls established by the Board and management are operating effectively in order for the Board to achieve the objective of ensuring the adequacy and effectiveness of the system of internal control. Internal audit reviews the control processes implemented by the management, and reports to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis. Internal audit adopts a risk-based approach in the review of the internal controls in the key activities of the Group’s businesses on the basis of an annual internal audit plan that had been presented to and approved by the Audit Committee. Weaknesses of Internal Controls that Result in Material Losses There were no material losses incurred during the current financial year as a result of weaknesses in internal control. Management continues to take measures to strengthen the control environment. Other Compliance Information Non-Audit Fees The amount of non-audit fees paid to external auditors for the financial year ended 31 December 2003 is RM88,600. Material Contracts There were no material contracts entered into by the Company and its subsidiaries which involves directors’ and major shareholders’ interests either still subsisting at the end of the financial year ended 31 December 2003 or entered into since the end of the previous financial year.

The formation of a leaner industry structure due to consolidation from five main players down to three during the year under review, saw keener and more intense competition in the mobile communications sector. In the face of such challenges, DiGi has successfully forged ahead as a leading player because it has been able to adapt quickly, harness the power of innovation and maintain its position as a high-performance business. It has stayed true to its commitment of bringing the benefits of cutting-edge wireless mobile multimedia products and services to as many Malaysians as possible. Tahun ini, industri telekomunikasi terus berkembang pesat pada kadar yang tidak pernah dicapai sebelum ini. Pembentukan struktur industri yang lebih cekap, hasil penggabungan lima peserta utama untuk menjadi tiga peserta pada tahun yang dilaporkan, mewujudkan persaingan yang lebih hebat dan sengit dalam sektor komunikasi mudah alih. Walaupun menghadapi cabarancabaran tersebut, DiGi telah berjaya melangkah maju sebagai peserta utama kerana ia berupaya menyesuaikan diri dengan pantas, memanfaatkan kuasa inovasi dan mengekalkan kedudukannya sebagai perniagaan prestasi tinggi. DiGi tetap berpegang kepada komitmennya untuk membawa faedah-faedah produk dan perkhidmatan multimedia mudah alih terkini kepada seberapa ramai rakyat Malaysia yang mungkin. During the year, we focused our attention on giving our customers simple and easy-to-use products and services that they really want and expect from their mobile service provider.

This was reflected in DiGi being ranked second as a company that is innovative in responding to customers’ needs in the Far Eastern Economic Review’s annual company survey, the Review 200: Asia’s Leading Companies. I believe that DiGi’s core strength is its ability for quick and continuous innovation with practical and relevant applications that cater to changing customer needs and expectations. Coupled with this has been a concerted effort to widen and enhance the DiGi brand for greater recognition of our warm, friendly and approachable personality. All these activities have contributed to the Group’s steady overall operating performance amidst an increasingly competitive business environment. Saya percaya kekuatan teras DiGi ialah kemampuannya untuk menghasilkan inovasi dengan pantas dan secara berterusan dengan aplikasi yang praktikal dan relevan yang memenuhi keperluan dan jangkaan pelanggan yang semakin berubah. Di samping itu, langkah-langkah bersepadu telah diambil untuk memperluas dan mempertingkatkan jenama DiGi agar personaliti kami yang ramah, mesra dan mudah didekati mendapat pengiktirafan yang lebih meluas. Hasil daripada semua kegiatan ini, Kumpulan telah mencatatkan prestasi operasi keseluruhan yang lebih mantap walaupun dalam suasana perniagaan yang semakin kompetitif. 45 46 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Financial Performance Prestasi Kewangan For the financial year ended 31 December 2003, the Group registered strong revenue growth of 33% to achieve a record RM1.71 billion from the previous financial year. Net profits soared 41% to 142.2 million, and earnings per share rose significantly to 19.0 sen from the previous year’s 13.4 sen. The consistent revenue growth trend achieved throughout the year under review has been attributed to higher mobile revenue, mainly from our 37% mobile customer growth. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization (‘EBITDA’) were boosted by the increased revenue growth to an impressive RM698.9 million with an improved margin of 41% from 38% achieved in the previous year. Bagi tahun kewangan berakhir 31 Disember 2003, Kumpulan telah mencatatkan pertumbuhan hasil yang kukuh sebanyak 33% berbanding tahun kewangan sebelumnya untuk mencapai hasil rekod berjumlah RM1.71 bilion. Keuntungan bersih meningkat 41% kepada 142.2 juta dan pendapatan sesaham meningkat secara mendadak kepada 19.0 sen berbanding 13.4 sen pada tahun sebelumnya. Trend pertumbuhan hasil yang konsisten yang dicapai sepanjang tahun yang dilaporkan diperolehi daripada hasil perkhidmatan mudah alih yang lebih tinggi, terutamanya kerana pertumbuhan 37% dalam pelanggan mudah alih. Pendapatan sebelum faedah, cukai, susut nilai dan pelunasan (“EBITDA”) turut meningkat kepada RM698.9 juta, sejajar dengan kenaikan hasil, dengan margin 41% yang lebih tinggi berbanding 38% yang dicapai pada tahun sebelumnya. Current Challenges A milestone development for the entire industry during the year has been the consolidation of the industry that has invariably changed the competitive landscape. Also, as the mobile penetration rate, currently at 44%, moves towards maturity, we need to work harder to entice and keep customers and maintain profitability by improving service delivery, price competitiveness and innovative customized packaging. DiGi is poised to face this challenge by consistently responding quickly to the needs of our customers and intelligently to our competition. We have put our customers at the center of everything we do and every operational unit is focused on providing customers with products and services that directly address their needs and wants. Cabaran Semasa Satu perkembangan penting bagi seluruh industri pada tahun yang dilaporkan ialah penggabungan industri yang telah mengubah struktur persaingan. Di samping itu, memandangkan kadar penembusan mudah alih yang kini mencapai tahap 44% sudah mula matang, kami perlu berusaha lebih gigih untuk memperolehi dan mengekalkan pelanggan serta mengekalkan tahap keuntungan dengan memperbaiki bekalan perkhidmatan, daya saing harga dan pakej inovatif terkhusus. DiGi bersedia untuk menghadapi cabaran-cabaran ini dengan bertindak balas pantas secara konsisten untuk memenuhi keperluan pelanggan kami dan mengambil langkah yang bijak untuk menandingi pesaing kami. Kami memastikan pelanggan menjadi DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) During the year, we underscored our strategic decision to play a role along the 3G value chain. Through creatively introducing a full range of advanced and affordable mobile multimedia products and services on our existing 2.5G network to meet initial demand, alongside completed efforts in upgrading our network to facilitate next-generation wireless technology using Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), DiGi customers will be able to enjoy higher quality voice calls, advanced multimedia services at faster speeds, one step ahead of any other mobile communications service provider in Malaysia. At the same time, concerted efforts were made to strengthen our network quality and capacity and expand our geographical coverage. To this end, DiGi has worked on building partnerships and strategic alliances at all levels with network operators, handset manufacturers, middleware providers and applications developers to reinforce its leading-edge products and services. 47 keutamaan kami dan setiap unit operasi memberi tumpuan membekalkan produk dan perkhidmatan yang memenuhi keperluan dan kehendak pelanggan secara langsung. Pada tahun yang dilaporkan, kami menekankan lagi keputusan strategik untuk memainkan peranan dalam rantaian nilai 3G. Dengan memperkenalkan produk dan perkhidmatan multimedia mudah alih yang canggih dan berpatutan menerusi rangkaian 2.5G kami yang sedia ada untuk memenuhi permintaan awal, serta langkah menaik taraf rangkaian kami yang telah selesai dijalankan untuk membolehkan teknologi tanpa wayar generasi akan datang digunakan menerusi Kadar Data Dipertingkatkan untuk Evolusi GSM (EDGE), pelanggan DiGi akan dapat menikmati panggilan suara lebih berkualiti dan perkhidmatan multimedia lanjut pada kelajuan lebih pantas. Kami berada selangkah di hadapan mana-mana pembekal perkhidmatan komunikasi di Malaysia. Pada masa yang sama, usaha bersepadu sedang dilaksanakan untuk memantapkan kualiti dan kapasiti rangkaian dan memperluas liputan ...next-generation wireless technology using EDGE, our customers will be able to enjoy higher quality voice calls, advanced multimedia services at faster speeds, one step ahead of any other mobile communications service provider in Malaysia 48 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) One striking example is in mobile data services, which now enables the sending of messages from handset to handset along with still-pictures, video clips and audio content. I am pleased to report that in August 2003, DiGi became the first service provider in the industry to launch MMS for both its prepaid and postpaid segments and we continue to work towards upgrading the technologies that support this service. Strategic Direction The year under review saw the introduction and implementation of initiatives like consolidation, new access pricing, infrastructure sharing, and mandatory standards governing access and quality of service. We are confident that DiGi is ready and capable of meeting these challenges. The drive for product innovation continues to be the key factor that will allow us to strengthen our market share and build a strong and sustained customer base. In response to the highly dynamic business environment that we operate in, the company has sought to ‘reinvent’ itself, allowing DiGi to lead the market in rolling out services that are timely, relevant and cost-effective. We have long-recognised the need for a clear growth strategy and also the need for that clarity to be communicated to all our employees, partners and customers. Taking this approach, management and staff orchestrated a convincing change of DiGi’s profile during the year under review. We are now a much warmer, friendlier and more approachable DiGi at all points of contact. We saw the need to build the DiGi brand into one that provides quality products that geografi kami. Untuk tujuan itu, DiGi telah berusaha membina pakatan dan perkongsian strategik di setiap peringkat dengan pengendali rangkaian, pengeluar telefon mudah alih, pembekal perisian perantara dan pencipta aplikasi untuk memperkukuh produk dan perkhidmatan canggihnya. Satu contoh yang baik ialah perkhidmatan data mudah alih, yang kini membolehkan penghantaran mesej yang mengandungi gambar pegun, klip video dan kandungan audio dari satu telefon mudah alih ke telefon mudah alih lain. Saya sukacita untuk melaporkan bahawa pada Ogos 2003, DiGi menjadi pembekal perkhidmatan pertama dalam industri untuk melancarkan MMS untuk segmen prabayar dan pasca bayar dan kami akan terus berusaha menaik taraf teknologi yang menyokong perkhidmatan ini. Hala Tuju Strategik Pada tahun yang dilaporkan, inisiatif seperti penggabungan, harga capaian baru, perkongsian infrastruktur dan piawaian mandatori untuk mengawal capaian dan kualiti perkhidmatan, telah diperkenalkan dan dilaksanakan. Usaha untuk mencapai inovasi produk terus menjadi faktor utama yang membolehkan kami meningkatkan bahagian pasaran dan membina asas pelanggan yang kukuh dan mampan. Sebagai tindak balas kepada suasana perniagaan yang sangat dinamik, syarikat telah berusaha ‘memperbaharui’ operasinya, lantas membolehkan DiGi mendahului pasaran dengan melancarkan perkhidmatan yang relevan, menjimatkan kos dan tepat pada masanya. Sejak dulu lagi, kami menyedari betapa perlu kami To be the key factor that will allow us to strengthen our market share and build a strong and sustained customer base DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) are not only innovative but affordable and practical, coupled with a service that is reliable and of impeccable quality. DiGi products and services offer a value proposition that customers can use to enhance their lifestyle and facilitate business efficiency. In tandem with these considerations, four key areas were identified as requiring our undivided attention in order to improve our performance and maintain a competitive edge: • We saw the need to expand our network coverage and gain access to new market centres as a key area of emphasis in addressing customer demands for uncompromised quality to match their increasing mobility needs. In this, our market-centric coverage expansion strategy has resulted in significant growth in our net customer additions during the year under review, with wider recognition of DiGi’s “best where we are” network quality throughout the nation. • Undivided customer focus and attention was another key priority area. Our main message to both our customers and our staff was that the customer is the focus of all that we do. We are putting all our efforts into learning more about our customers, understanding what they need and want, and then giving them simple, user-friendly products and services to meet these needs. During the year we introduced a series of innovative, intelligent and straightforward mobile communications services and product enhancements that allowed our customers to stay connected and have access to information and entertainment with greater mobility, speed, convenience and clarity. merangka strategi pertumbuhan yang jelas. Strategi yang jelas itu juga perlu disampaikan kepada kakitangan, rakan perniagaan dan pelanggan kami. Menerusi pendekatan ini, pihak pengurusan dan kakitangan telah melaksanakan rombakan profil DiGi yang meyakinkan dalam tahun yang dilaporkan. DiGi kini lebih ramah, mesra dan mudah didekati di setiap titik pertemuan. Kami menyedari betapa perlunya membina jenama DiGi yang membekalkan produk berkualiti yang bukan sahaja inovatif tetapi pada harga berpatutan dan praktikal, di samping menyediakan perkhidmatan yang boleh dipercayai dan bermutu paling tinggi. Produk dan perkhidmatan DiGi menawarkan nilai yang boleh dimanfaatkan oleh pelanggan untuk meningkatkan gaya hidup mereka dan menambahkan kecekapan perniagaan. Sejajar dengan segala pertimbangan di atas, empat bidang penting yang memerlukan perhatian penuh kami untuk meningkatkan prestasi dan mengekalkan kelebihan daya saing telah dikenal pasti: • Kami menyedari keperluan untuk memperluas liputan rangkaian dan menembusi pusat pasaran baru sebagai tumpuan utama dalam usaha kami memberikan kualiti terbaik kepada pelanggan bagi memenuhi keperluan pergerakan mereka yang semakin meningkat. Dalam hal ini, strategi memperluas liputan yang tertumpu kepada pasaran telah menghasilkan pertumbuhan besar dari segi jumlah pertambahan pelanggan bersih pada tahun yang dilaporkan. Kualiti rangkaian DiGi telah mendapat pengiktirafan meluas sebagai “terbaik di mana kami berada” di seluruh negara. 49 50 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) • In order to maintain our position as an industry leader, the company continues to place emphasis on strengthening and upgrading our mobile network. As mentioned earlier, to this end we made strategic investments that enabled us to upgrade our mobile network with the introduction of EDGE technology. In fact, DiGi is the first service provider in Malaysia to announce its commitment to EDGE technology, an evolutionary improvement in packet-based data services that provides users with faster and more powerful mobile data applications. With EDGE, DiGi will be able to provide customers with a seamless migration from our current 2.5G network to 3G-type services by tripling the rate of data transfer. Our customers will be able to use faster and more powerful mobile data applications such as MMS over both our prepaid and postpaid service. • Tumpuan dan perhatian khusus yang tidak berbelah bagi terhadap pelanggan merupakan satu lagi bidang keutamaan. Mesej utama kami kepada pelanggan dan kakitangan ialah pelanggan menjadi tumpuan dalam apa jua yang kami lakukan. Kami mencurahkan tenaga kami untuk mempelajari lebih lanjut tentang pelanggan, memahami apa yang mereka kehendaki dan perlukan, dan menyediakan produk dan perkhidmatan yang mudah dan mesra pengguna untuk memenuhi keperluan mereka. Pada tahun yang dilaporkan, kami telah memperkenalkan beberapa perkhidmatan komunikasi mudah alih yang inovatif, pintar dan ringkas, dan melaksanakan peningkatan produk yang membolehkan pelanggan terus berhubung dan mendapatkan maklumat dan hiburan dengan daya pergerakan, kepantasan, kemudahan dan kejelasan yang lebih tinggi. • The introduction of new products and services is, of course, crucial if we wish to make our mark in the field of mobile content and data services. Sustained growth depends on our ability to deliver new and innovative customized products and services that directly address customer needs and wants. Throughout the year, we have launched new products and services in both the prepaid and postpaid segments. We have also set out to dissolve the boundaries between prepaid and postpaid to enable a truly seamless delivery of services to subscribers in both these segments. This is very much in keeping with DiGi’s strategic focus on centering our products and services around customer needs in order to improve average revenue per user and build long-term profitability into our operations. • Untuk mengekalkan kedudukan kami sebagai pemimpin industri, syarikat terus memberi penekanan kepada usaha untuk memantapkan dan menaik taraf rangkaian mudah alih kami. Seperti yang disebutkan sebelum ini, kami telah membuat pelaburan strategik untuk tujuan ini yang membolehkan kami menaik taraf rangkaian mudah alih dengan memperkenalkan teknologi EDGE. Malah, DiGi adalah pembekal perkhidmatan pertama di Malaysia untuk mengumumkan komitmennya kepada teknologi EDGE, satu perkembangan evolusi dalam perkhidmatan data berasaskan paket yang menyediakan aplikasi data yang lebih pantas dan berkuasa kepada pengguna. Menerusi EDGE, DiGi akan membolehkan pelanggan berpindah dengan lancar daripada perkhidmatan rangkaian 2.5G kami yang sedia ada kepada 3G, dengan DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) The market of the future will be driven by convenience, ease of use and reliability Prospects The year 2003 was a transitional year for the Malaysian mobile communications market and although there were great challenges faced by the industry in its consolidation, it has re-emerged as a more regulated and sophisticated entity. From this, we believe that the market for mobile communications lifestyle solutions will continue to grow steadily. The growth prospects for Malaysia look equally exciting and we believe that DiGi can continue to achieve a sustained, profitable market position. Indeed, the future looks promising. The mobile communications market is still growing; mobile users are becoming more educated, sophisticated and discerning. As a company, DiGi is intensifying its efforts in innovation and customer service in order to stay ahead of the competition. The market of the future will be driven by convenience, ease of use and reliability. People want to be connected from wherever they are, be it at home or from their office, car or vacation site. They want wireless data services which allow them to perform everyday functions like reading an e-mail or obtaining important information, without being tied to a desktop at home or at the office. They will want to use this data not just for business, but to keep in touch with their friends and family, while completing personal chores like banking or shopping. And we must be ready to provide these services in the most simple-to-use, affordable and innovative way. memindahkan data tiga kali lebih pantas. Pelanggan kami akan dapat menggunakan aplikasi data mudah alih yang lebih pantas dan berkuasa seperti MMS menerusi perkhidmatan prabayar dan pasca bayar kami. • Langkah memperkenalkan produk dan perkhidmatan baru ternyata sangat penting sekiranya kami ingin mencapai kejayaan dalam bidang kandungan mudah alih dan perkhidmatan data. Pertumbuhan mampan bergantung kepada keupayaan kami untuk membekalkan produk dan perkhidmatan yang baru dan inovatif dalam segmen prabayar dan pasca bayar. Kami juga telah berusaha menghapuskan sempadan antara khidmat prabayar dan pasca bayar untuk menyediakan perkhidmatan yang benar-benar lancar kepada pelanggan di keduadua segmen ini. Ini adalah selaras dengan tumpuan strategik DiGi untuk menyesuaikan produk dan perkhidmatan kami mengikut keperluan pelanggan bagi meningkatkan purata hasil daripada setiap pengguna dan membina keuntungan jangka panjang bagi operasi kami.

At the same time, regulatory changes, coupled with new national policy objectives, clearly kept DiGi on its toes. The industry merger exercises meant that each resulting entity had a competitive advantage brought about by the combined spectrum of the merging companies. We needed to level the playing field, and this was effected when the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission allocated DiGi the use of EGSM band to obtain a 900 MHz frequency capability. This has helped us to extend our coverage, fill the gaps between the 1800 MHz sites and maximize coverage in isolated townships. In addition, efforts are ongoing to obtain a primary GSM band. Penggabungan dua peserta utama industri pada tahun kewangan yang lalu mendorong DiGi untuk mengkaji semula strategi-strategi perniagaannya bagi memastikan ia mempunyai peluang saksama untuk menguasai bahagian pasaran yang cukup besar. Pada masa yang sama, pindaan yang dibuat kepada peraturan serta objektif-objektif dasar baru negara memastikan DiGi sentiasa peka dan bersedia untuk menghadapi perkembangan terbaru. Proses penggabungan industri bermakna setiap entiti tergabung mempunyai kelebihan daya saing yang diperolehi daripada spektrum bersepadu syarikat-syarikat yang bergabung. Kami perlu memastikan bahawa kami dapat bersaing dengan cara yang adil dan saksama. Matlamat ini tercapai apabila Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia membenarkan DiGi menggunakan jalur EGSM untuk mendapatkan keupayaan frekuensi DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Our emphasis is on rolling out innovative, easy-to-use services that simplify and enrich the lives of our customers We also took a good hard look at our operations in the context of the challenges of our rapidly changing business environment, and emerged from this exercise with a clear focus on building the DiGi brand based on our unique understanding of our customers. This, very simply, underlies our strategy for growth. Our emphasis is on rolling out innovative, easy-touse services that simplify and enrich the lives of our costumers. This contributed to the growth of DiGi’s customer base, alongside the various programmes and promotions. In addition, a “Voice of Customer” initiative was launched to acquire customer feedback, as well as to measure our customer experience at the different touch points. To ensure that customers receive relevant, timely and customized information on DiGi products and services, a lifestyle-based customer newsletter, morethanwords, was launched in the year under review, communicating DiGi’s fresh new face, in addition to introducing subscribers to the full range of DiGi products and services. We also put more muscle into marketing in the review period, which has resulted in a warmer, friendlier, more approachable personality as reflected in the DiGi logo and in all our advertising and promotions campaigns and collaterals. 900 MHz. Ini telah membantu kami memperluaskan rangkaian, mengisi jurang antara 1800 MHz tapak dan memaksimumkan liputan di pekanpekan terpencil. Di samping itu, kami sedang berusaha untuk mendapatkan satu jalur GSM utama. Kami juga telah meneliti operasi kami dalam konteks cabaran yang dihadapi dalam suasana perniagaan yang sentiasa berubah dengan pantas, dan telah menetapkan tumpuan yang jelas untuk membina jenama DiGi berdasarkan kefahaman unik tentang para pelanggan kami. Ini menekankan strategi pertumbuhan kami. Kami memberi penekanan kepada usaha untuk melancarkan perkhidmatan yang inovatif dan mudah digunakan, serta memperbaiki dan menyenangkan kehidupan pelanggan kami. Penekanan ini, serta pelbagai promosi dan program yang diadakan, telah membantu meningkatkan bilangan pelanggan DiGi. Di samping itu, inisiatif yang dinamakan “Suara Pelanggan” telah dilancarkan untuk mendapatkan maklum balas daripada pelanggan, dan juga mengukur pengalaman pelanggan kami di titik-titik hubungan yang berbeza. Bagi memastikan pelanggan menerima maklumat mengenai produk dan perkhidmatan DiGi yang relevan, khusus dan tepat pada masanya, satu risalah berita berasaskan gaya hidup bertajuk morethanwords telah dilancarkan pada tahun yang dilaporkan, untuk memperlihatkan wajah baru DiGi, di samping memperkenalkan rangkaian lengkap produk dan perkhidmatan DiGi kepada pelanggan. 59 60 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) These strategic investments have clearly sharpened our competitive edge, and boosted growth in our customer numbers and usage, as reflected in the impressive financial growth trend registered in the financial year under review. Revenues rose 33% to a record RM1.71 billion, mainly contributed by the mobile and international segments, with mobile revenue increases spurred by the 37% growth in DiGi’s mobile customer base to 2.21 million. Earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) were boosted by the increased revenue growth to an impressive RM698.9 million with an improved margin of 41% from 38% achieved in the previous year. The Group saw a 41% surge in its net profits to RM142.2 million, from the RM100.9 million recorded in the previous year, while earnings per share improved to 19.0 sen from 13.4 sen previously recorded.

As part of efforts to support dealers, road shows and promotional events were held nationwide.

Setakat ini, DiGi mempunyai 4,000 wakil penjual untuk membantu membangunkan pasaran baru di seluruh negara. Dengan pelancaran Program Kesetiaan Wakil Penjual pada tahun yang dilaporkan, kami kini lebih bersedia untuk memantau kemajuan keseluruhan rangkaian pengedaran dan bertindak balas terhadap keperluan rakan-rakan saluran dengan lebih berkesan. 61 62 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Looking ahead, plans are in the pipeline to continue expanding and grooming more dealers to bring added convenience and professional service to DiGi’s customers We expanded the DiGi Specialised Stores (DSS) to 20 in total, in addition to establishing more alternative reload channels. Looking ahead, plans are in the pipeline to continue expanding and grooming more dealers to bring added convenience and professional service to DiGi’s customers.

Bahanbahan baru untuk promosi, papan tanda luar dan kegiatan secara langsung DiGi di kedai-kedai wakil penjual telah membantu memaksimumkan jualan. Kami telah menambah bilangan Kedai Khusus DiGi (DSS) kepada 20 kedai, di samping mewujudkan lebih banyak saluran isian semula alternatif. Rancangan sedang dirangka untuk menambah dan melatih lebih ramai wakil penjual bagi menyediakan kemudahan dan perkhidmatan profesional tambahan kepada para pelanggan DiGi. Network Network availability and performance is central to DiGi’s business. In the year 2002, DiGi enhanced network availability to above 99 per cent and improved its overall quality and reliability. In this review period, DiGi concentrated on bringing its customers an expanded and exciting new range of services while it continued to improve network performance. In the initial stages of the year under review, DiGi installed the latest generation Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) equipment in the Klang Valley. This deployment resulted in increased reliability, enhanced coverage and improved voice quality. Rangkaian Penyediaan dan prestasi rangkaian amat penting bagi perniagaan DiGi. Pada tahun 2002, DiGi telah meningkatkan penyediaan rangkaian kepada lebih 99 peratus dan memperbaiki kualiti keseluruhan dan kebolehpercayaannya. Dalam tempoh yang dilaporkan, DiGi memberi tumpuan kepada usaha untuk membawa rangkaian perkhidmatan yang lebih luas dan menarik kepada pelanggan, sambil terus meningkatkan prestasi rangkaian. Pada awal tahun yang dilaporkan, DiGi telah memasang kelengkapan Sistem Global bagi Komunikasi Mudah Alih (GSM) generasi terbaru di Lembah DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Klang. Penggunaan kelengkapan terbaru ini telah membolehkan diri mempertingkatkan kebolehpercayaan, memperluaskan liputan dan memperbaiki kualiti suara. Following this, DiGi became the first in Malaysia to commit to Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) technology, which is an evolution of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a technology that allows information to be sent and received at optimal speeds across a mobile telephone network. In technical terms, EDGE is a new modulation scheme that allows a much higher bit rate across the air interface. With it, DiGi will be able to offer higher and faster data rates and ultimately, to bridge the transition into next-generation services. New markets were opened when DiGi expanded its number of Base Transmission Stations (BTS) by 450. In tandem with this, DiGi also initiated the concept of infrastructure sharing between mobile service providers, supporting the government’s call for the industry to efficiently utilize its common resources. To further increase coverage in buildings, DiGi proactively took part in the Common Antennae System (CAS) projects, jointly undertaken with Celcom and Maxis. As value-added services were incorporated into DiGi’s prepaid product to offer customers greater flexibility, the system was also enhanced to support Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) to enable Seterusnya, DiGi telah menjadi syarikat pertama di Malaysia yang memberikan komitmen kepada teknologi EDGE (Kadar Data Dipertingkatkan Bagi Evolusi GSM), iaitu evolusi daripada Perkhidmatan Paket Radio Am (GPRS). EDGE ialah teknologi yang membolehkan maklumat dihantar dan diterima pada kelajuan optimum menggunakan rangkaian telefon mudah alih. Dari segi teknikal, EDGE ialah skim modulasi baru yang membolehkan penghantaran bit pada kadar yang jauh lebih tinggi merentasi antara muka di udara. Dengan teknologi ini, DiGi akan dapat menawarkan kadar data yang lebih tinggi dan pantas, dan akhirnya akan mempermudahkan peralihan ke dalam perkhidmatan generasi akan datang. Pasaran-pasaran baru telah ditembusi apabila DiGi menambah bilangan Stesen Transmisi Tapak kepada 450. Sejajar dengan itu, DiGi juga telah mempelopori konsep perkongsian infrastruktur antara syarikat pembekal perkhidmatan mudah alih. Tindakan ini diambil sebagai menyahut seruan kerajaan agar industri telekomunikasi memanfaatkan sumber-sumber bersama. Untuk meningkatkan lagi liputan dalam bangunan, DiGi telah mengambil bahagian secara proaktif dalam projek-projek Sistem Antena Am (CAS), yang dilaksanakan bersama Celcom dan Maxis. Di samping perkhidmatan-perkhidmatan lebih bernilai yang telah digabungkan ke dalam produk prabayar DiGi untuk memberikan kemudahan yang lebih fleksibel kepada pelanggan, sistem ini juga telah dinaik taraf untuk menyokong Perkhidmatan Pesanan 63 64 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) DiGi customers to send and receive pictures with their mobile phones via DiGi’s existing GPRS network. With the allocation of an additional 2 X 2 MHz in the EGSM frequency band, courtesy of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), DiGi has already begun using the additional frequency in the introduction of a dual band 900 MHz and 1800 MHz GSM system, in line with its ongoing network planning activities. Through all these enhancements and added services, DiGi’s network has maintained stability, thanks to the new network management system referred to as DiNAMICS (or DiGi Network Automated Management Information Control System). Essentially a performance management system that enables the entire network to be monitored from a single screen, DiNAMICS allows network outages to be referenced directly to the impact on specific customers and the relevant service, thus enabling targeted and real-time maintenance of network Multimedia (MMS) bagi membolehkan pelanggan DiGi menghantar dan menerima gambar dengan telefon mudah alih mereka menerusi rangkaian GPRS DiGi yang sedia ada. Selepas menerima peruntukan 2 X 2 MHz tambahan dalam jalur frekuensi EGSM daripada Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM), DiGi mula menggunakan frekuensi tambahan tersebut untuk memperkenalkan sistem dwijalur 900MHz dan 1800MHz, sejajar dengan kegiatan perancangan rangkaian yang sedang dijalankan. Dengan segala usaha menaik taraf dan memberikan perkhidmatan tambahan ini, rangkaian DiGi berupaya mengekalkan kestabilan menerusi pelaksanaan sistem pengurusan rangkaian baru yang dirujuk sebagai DiNAMICS (atau Sistem Kawalan Maklumat Pengurusan Berutomasi Rangkaian DiGi). Pada asasnya, DiNAMICS merupakan sistem pengurusan prestasi yang membolehkan seluruh rangkaian dipantau daripada skrin tunggal. DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) ...DiGi continued to offer an exciting, new range of products and services, setting a number of industry benchmarks for creativity and innovation performance.

Mobile Communications Services Over the year under review, DiGi continued to offer an exciting, new range of products and services, setting a number of industry benchmarks for creativity and innovation. Through a holistic company-wide new branding exercise, DiGi not only launched a number of new products and services, but also put significant efforts into improving and simplifying all existing product and service features, as well as enhancing our customer service touchpoints to ensure efficient and consistent service to our diversified customer base. As in the previous year, DiGi maintained its focus on a seamless delivery of mobile communications services, independent of customers’ preferred payment mode.

Incorporating Java-enhanced games, polyphonic ring tones, as well as coloured pictures and animations, the service has already become very popular, and is being used not only for entertainment, but also for professional purposes by business customers. DiGi has always taken pride in listening to its customers, and addressing their expressed needs. There has clearly been a demand for simplified call price plans in Malaysia, and as consumers vary in their usage patterns, DiGi was quick to respond DiNAMICS membolehkan kegagalan rangkaian dirujuk secara langsung kepada kesannya ke atas pelangganpelanggan tertentu dan perkhidmatan yang terbabit, lantas membolehkan prestasi rangkaian disenggarakan secara khusus, pada masa sebenar. Secara keseluruhannya, DiGi berjaya meningkatkan unsur rangkaiannya sebanyak 25% sambil mengekalkan Petunjuk Prestasi Penting, tanpa sebarang perubahan kepada tenaga kerjanya.

Memandangkan pengguna mempunyai corak penggunaan yang berbeza, DiGi bertindak balas pantas dengan membangunkan teknologi pelarasan kadar auto. Ciri pintar ini membolehkan pelanggan menikmati faedah penjimatan kos apabila penggunaan mereka meningkat, dan DiGi menawarkan kemudahan ini kepada semua pelanggan mudah alihnya. Untuk mempertingkatkan lagi kemudahan, DiGi juga meringkaskan zon bayaran di Semenanjung Malaysia tahun ini, dengan mengurangkannya kepada dua zon sahaja, iaitu tempatan dan luar negara. Untuk mengukuhkan kedudukan kami di Malaysia Timur, kami menjadi pembekal perkhidmatan komunikasi mudah alih pertama yang menggabungkan sistem bayaran tarif empat zon di Sabah dan Sarawak, dan DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) by developing its innovative auto adjusting rates technology. This intelligent feature will enable customers to automatically enjoy cost reduction benefits as their usage increases, and DiGi is now offering this to all mobile customers. Taking convenience a step further, DiGi also simplified the charging zones in Peninsular Malaysia this year, by reducing them into two zones only, local and outstation. Strengthening our presence in East Malaysia, we were also the first mobile communications service provider to consolidate the four zone tariff charging system in Sabah and Sarawak, simplifying the process for our prepaid customers there and enabling them to enjoy greater cost savings. The practical friends and family™ feature was introduced in August to attract new customers and strengthen loyalty. This attractive feature offers low, flat rates, valid nationwide all day long to any six DiGi numbers that customers frequently call.

DiGi has also formed unique partnerships with credit card companies like Visa and MasterCard to offer customers auto and ad-hoc reload systems, in addition to its established ATM reload network. Enhancements to DiGi’s postpaid service helped to further strengthen its position in the mobile communications market. Considerable efforts were invested in designing its new Horizon™ Postpaid service, which not only offers consumers choice, flexibility and value for money, but also further diminished the fine lines between pre- and post-paid services through its full set of value-added features. Consequently, Horizon™ Postpaid, which offers a set of two price plans, was well received following its launch in November, as a straightforward and simple solution for a postpaid service. The two postpaid plans, Horizon Optimum™ and Horizon Premier™, are tailored to address different customer needs, easily making them the preferred choice in a cluttered and complicated postpaid marketplace. Both dynamic tariff plans, also utilizing DiGi’s innovative auto adjusting rates feature, have caused quite a stir in the mobile arena, as reflected in the increased mobile customer additions in this segment since Horizon™ Postpaid’s market debut.

Dua pelan pasca bayar tersebut, iaitu Horizon Optimum™ dan Horizon Premier™, disesuaikan untuk memenuhi keperluan pelanggan yang berbeza, menjadikannya pilihan utama dalam pasaran pasca bayar yang rumit dan berpecah.

We inspire, challenge and empower our people to make a positive contribution to the community through a variety of creative of Corporate Social Responsibility programmes implemented throughout the year. Our DiGi Yellow Mobile community programme, which reaches out to underprivileged and disadvantaged children in Malaysia, has a strong accent on art and culture. It celebrates Malaysia’s rich cultural heritage in a unique learning experience which allows the children from different ethnic backgrounds to interact with each other through workshops and performances incorporating art, dance, music, literature, craft, and festive traditions. 101 102 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) This community project reflects DiGi’s vision for unity in a diverse culture and aims to give special children a chance for individual expression, as well as to participate and learn in a harmonious environment with other children and adults So far, more than 1,000 orphans across the nation have participated in the programme, which has gained a keen media following since its launch in Kuala Lumpur in mid-June 2002, with Art Attack. During the review year, the DiGi Yellow Mobile journey continued with Craft Crazy, Culture Caravan, Festive Fiesta, Sing Swing, touching the lives of special children in vulnerable communities in Sarawak, Sabah, Penang and Malacca respectively, and delighting them in the beauty and richness of their cultural heritage and identity. This community project reflects DiGi’s vision for unity in a diverse culture and aims to give special children a chance for individual expression, as well as to participate and learn in a harmonious environment with other children and adults. DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) In the year under review, DiGi’s customer service division took service ethics and corporate social responsibility many notches higher when they responded to the needs of some 120 orphans by fulfilling their christmas wishes In the year under review, DiGi’s Customer Service Division took service ethics and corporate social responsibility many notches higher when they responded to the needs of some 120 orphans by fulfilling their Christmas wishes. In a unique community outreach project, DiGi’s 12 Trees of Christmas, DiGi Customer Service volunteers worked with 12 orphanages in the Klang Valley, to create Christmas joy at the Berjaya Times Square in Kuala Lumpur. The special children were thrilled to be an integral part of the Customer Service teams who helped to decorate the Christmas trees in a variety of colourful themes. Each decorated tree was then auctioned off to raise funds for the various homes. Following through on its educational stance with the youth segment, DiGi also organised its second D-Mobile Youth Workshop in August, providing 200 youth with a highly creative and interactive environment to enable them to understand the full potential of upcoming mobile multimedia applications and services. The creative workshop sessions also opened up discussions for youth to explore ways in which they can use these new applications to improve the way they communicate, work and play. 103 We believe in injecting professionalism and integrity into everything we do. By being focused and getting it right each time, we save costs, we minimise wastage, we protect our relationships with one another and best of all, we give our customers just what they ask for! 106 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Directors’ Report for the year ended 31 December 2003 The Directors have pleasure in submitting their report and the audited financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2003.

There were no arrangements during and at the end of the financial year which had the object of enabling Directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in or debentures of the Company or any other body corporate. Issue of shares and debentures There were no changes in the issued and paid-up capital of the Company during the financial year. Options granted over unissued shares No options were granted to any person to take up unissued shares of the Company during the year. Other statutory information Before the financial statements of the Group and of the Company were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps to ascertain that: i) all known bad debts have been written off and adequate provision made for doubtful debts, and ii) all current assets have been stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances: i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts, or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts, in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate to any substantial extent, or ii) that would render the value attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading, or iii) which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate, or iv) not otherwise dealt with in this report or the financial statements, that would render any amount stated in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company misleading. DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Directors’ Report 109 for the year ended 31 December 2003 At the date of this report, there does not exist: i) any charge on the assets of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year and which secures the liabilities of any other person, or ii) any contingent liability in respect of the Group or of the Company that has arisen since the end of the financial year. No contingent liability or other liability of any company in the Group 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 Group and of the Company to meet their obligations as and when they fall due. In the opinion of the Directors, the results of the operations of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2003 have not been substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature nor has any such item, transaction or event occurred in the interval between the end of that financial year and the date of this report.

DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 117 31 December 2003 1. Summary of significant accounting policies The following accounting policies are adopted by the Group and the Company and are consistent with those adopted in previous financial years except for the retrospective adoption of the following: i) MASB 25, Income Taxes; ii) MASB 27, Borrowing Costs; and iii) MASB 29, Employee Benefits. Apart from the new policies and extended disclosures where required by these new standards, there is no material impact on the financial statements. (a) Basis of accounting The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and in compliance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia. (b) Basis of consolidation Subsidiaries are those enterprises controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control effectively commences until the date that control effectively ceases. Subsidiaries are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed are included from the date of acquisition or up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of the subsidiaries’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the Group financial statements. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair values of the subsidiaries’ net assets is reflected as goodwill or reserve on consolidation as appropriate. Intragroup transactions and balances and the resulting unrealised profits are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses resulting from intragroup transactions are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. 118 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2003 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment, except for freehold land and capital work-in-progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are stated at cost. Depreciation Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated. All other assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives except for leasehold land and buildings which are amortised over their remaining leasehold period. The principal annual rates used are as follows: Leasehold land and buildings Freehold buildings Motor vehicles Computer systems Furniture and fittings Telecommunications network 30 to 99 years 2.0% 20.0% 20.0% 10.0% 10.0% (d) Investments in subsidiaries Investments in subsidiaries are held for long term and are stated at cost. Such investments are only written down when the Directors are of the opinion that there is a diminution in their values which is other than temporary. (e) Capitalisation of borrowing costs Interest incurred in connection with financing the construction and installation of property, plant and equipment, if any, is capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended use. DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2003 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (f) Impairment The carrying amount of assets, other than inventories and financial assets (other than investment in subsidiaries), 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. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit to which it belongs exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and its value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss has been recognised. The reversal is recognised in the income statement. (g) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value and are determined on a weighted average basis. The costs of trading merchandise comprises purchase costs and other incidental costs incurred in bringing these merchandise to their present condition and location. (h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in hand, balances and deposits with licensed banks and financial institutions. For the purpose of the cash flow statements, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts, if any. 119 120 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2003 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (i) Income tax Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity. Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Temporary differences are not recognised for goodwill not deductible for tax purposes and the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the balance sheet date. A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. (j) Foreign currency Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at rates approximating those ruling at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at balance sheet date are translated into Ringgit Malaysia at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising from translation are recognised in the income statement. The closing rates used in the translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities are as follows: 1 1 1 1 1 US Dollar Swiss Franc Special Drawing Rights Euro Dollar Norwegian Kroner 2003 2002 RM3.80 RM3.06 RM5.65 RM4.78 RM0.54 RM3.80 RM2.74 RM5.15 RM3.98 RM0.55 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 121 31 December 2003 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (k) Revenue i) Goods sold and services rendered Net revenue include all sales of goods and services, net of rebates and discounts. Revenue are recognised when goods are delivered or services are rendered. Revenue from the prepaid cards that have been sold to customers but where services have not been rendered at the balance sheet date is deferred. ii) Interest income Interest income is recognised in the income statement as it accrues taking into account the effective yield on the asset. (l) Expenses i) Operating leases Leases of assets where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on the straight line basis over the lease period. When an operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by way of penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place. ii) Financing costs All interest and other ancillary costs incurred in connection with borrowings are expensed as incurred except for those as mentioned in Notes 1(e) and 1(n)(ii). 122 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2003 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (m) Intangible asset Intangible asset comprises a fee paid during the financial period ended 31 December 2001 for the provision of technology and transfer of technical know-how pursuant to a technical services agreement signed between the Company and Telenor Mobile Communications AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Telenor ASA, its ultimate holding company. The fee paid is amortised on a straight line basis over the remaining period of the telecommunications license of fifteen years. (n) Deferred expenditure i) License fees License fees are capitalised and amortised over the period of the licenses. ii) Ancillary costs of borrowings Costs specifically incurred to obtain new funding for the purpose of retiring existing loans and finance further network expansion are deferred to the extent that these are recoverable out of future revenue. The costs incurred are amortised over the tenor of the new loans and any unamortised portion will be written off proportionately as and when there is a prepayment of the outstanding loans. (o) Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are stated at cost less allowance for doubtful debts. Bad debts are written off in the year in which these are identified. Allowances are made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding balances at the year end. DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2003 1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) (p) Employee benefits i) Defined contribution plans Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. ii) Defined benefits plans The Group operates an unfunded defined benefit plan for its eligible employees. The benefits are calculated based on the length of service and the agreed percentages of eligible employees’ salaries over the period of their employment and are payable upon resignation after completion of minimum employment period of 10 years service or upon retirement age of 55 years. The obligations under the retirement benefit scheme are determined based on actuarial valuation by a qualified independent actuary on a bi-annual basis. That benefit is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method in order to determine its present value. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised as income or expense over the expected average remaining working lives of the participating employees when cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains or losses exceed 10% of the higher of the present value of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Where there are any improvements in benefits for the plan, past service cost is recognised immediately to the extent that the benefits are already vested, and otherwise is amortised on a straight-line basis over the average period until the amended benefits become vested. The amount recognised in the balance sheet represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations adjusted for unrecognised actuarial gains and losses, if any, and unrecognised past service cost. Any asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the net total of any unrecognised actuarial losses and past service cost, and the present value of any economic benefits in the form of refunds or reductions in future contributions to the plan. (q) Liabilities Borrowings and trade and other payables are stated at cost. 123 124 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2003 2.

Financial instruments Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies In the normal course of conducting its business activities, the Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks, which include credit, currency, liquidity and interest rate risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects of these risks on the financial performance of the Group. Credit risk The Group’s credit risk arises in the normal course of business primarily with respect to trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents. Credit risk is managed through formalised policies on credit assessment and approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. Deposits are placed only with licensed banks and financial institutions. The maximum credit risk exposure in respect of trade receivables is limited to the carrying value of the receivables less allowance for doubtful debts as stated in the financial statements, whereas, the maximum exposure for other receivables, cash and cash equivalents are the reported carrying value in the financial statements. At balance sheet date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. Foreign currency risk The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk as a result of transactions denominated in foreign currency arising from the normal business activities and borrowings. The currency giving rise to this risk is primarily US dollars. Exposure to foreign currency risk is monitored on an ongoing basis and when considered necessary, the Group will consider using effective financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency risk. Liquidity risk The Group monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rates risk primarily from the deposit placements and interest-bearing financial liabilities. The Group manages its interest rate risk for the interest-earning deposit placements by placing such balances on varying maturities and interest rate terms. The Group’s policy in dealing with interest-bearing financial liabilities is to minimise the interest expense by obtaining the most favourable interest rates available and by using a mix of fixed and floating rate debts. 144 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) Notes to the Financial Statements 31 December 2003 25.

Apart from this fixed rate loan, the fair values of all the other loans are their carrying amounts as their interest rates are on floating rate basis. 146 DiGi.Com Berhad (425190-X) List of Properties No. as at 31 December 2003 Location Tenure 1 H.S.
