The Group recorded an operational loss of RM9.2 million as compared against an operational profit of RM2.3 million the previous financial year. The operational loss included significant provisions of bad debts and write offs of obsolete and damaged stocks and corporate expenses incurred for the aborted acquisition of two groups of garment related companies. >>> Review of Operations The Group is currently involved in the manufacture and retail of garments, manufacture and distribution of frozen food as well as the distribution of home appliances and household products. 14 The garment industry has been stricken with eroding margins and escalating costs. Imports from cheaper producing countries such as China, Vietnam and Myanmar has forced local manufacturers to stave off shrinking margins with cost cutting measures, relocations, lay-offs and even in many instances abandoning the business altogether. well as Singapore, Brunei and Philippines in the AsiaPacific region, and of late, has made in-roads into the United States. >>> Corporate Developments During the final quarter of the financial year under review, the Company acquired the businesses of Hagemeyer (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd and Hagemeyer Singapore Pte Ltd which includes retailing of home appliances and houseware products such as air-conditioners, plastic storage products, glass wares, and small electrical appliances viz ovens, microwave ovens, toasters and hair dryers. These products are distributed by its wholly owned subsidiaries Amtek Marketing Services Sdn Bhd and Amtek Distributors Sdn Bhd for the Malaysian market and Amtek Marketing Services Ptd Ltd for the Singapore and overseas market. Brand names include Fujitsu, Cornell, Rubber Maid and Babyliss. Consequently, ‘Cornell’, a registered trade mark for small home appliances, is now owned by the Company. The acquisition of these businesses had little impact on the current year’s financial results. The Group’s garment business which involves the manufacturing, washing and chemical treating and retailing of jeans wear recorded losses for the financial year under review. These losses included the writing off of bad debts and stock obsolescence. The proposed acquisition of the entire issued and paid up capital of Spark Manshop Holdings Sdn Bhd and 51% of the issued and paid up capital of Crocodile Sdn Bhd (‘Proposed Acquisitions’) were aborted by the Company. The proposed acquisition of Spark Manshop Holdings Sdn Bhd was terminated on 18 October 2002 by way of a Revocation Agreement while the proposed acquisition of Crocodile Sdn Bhd was aborted on 01 August 2003 as the conditions for the Share Sale Agreement were not met upon the dateline for its completion. The manufacture and distribution of frozen food by the Company’s subsidiary, Kart Food Industries Sdn Bhd, located at Shah Alam, contributed positively to the performance and earnings of the Group, for the financial year under review. Kart Food Industries Sdn Bhd is among the leaders in the frozen ‘ready to serve’ food industry, with clients local and abroad. Currently Kart Food has international clients in the United Kingdom, France as The Company, via its wholly owned subsidiary Amtek Realty Sdn Bhd, had on 30 April 2003 entered into a Sale & Purchase agreement to acquire a seven and a half storey building inclusive of a basement car park and warehouse. This acquisition would enable the Group to have the immediate effect of operating under a centralized operational environment leading to economies of scale and cost savings. The acquisition would be part funded by internally generated funds and bank borrowings and has no material effect on the earnings per share of the company. This acquisition is expected to be completed by year end. The Executives’ Share Option Scheme of The Company was implemented in July 2003. This scheme is to reward eligible employees and executive directors of the Company as well as to accord them the opportunity to participate in the growth of the Company.

GENERAL INFORMATION The principal activities of the Company are investment holding and provisions of management services. The principal activities of the subsidiary companies are as disclosed in Note 7 to the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in the nature of these activities of the Company and of its subsidiary companies during the financial year, other than the additional activities of marketing and distribution of electrical and other merchandise arising from acquisition of subsidiary companies during the financial year. Amtek Holdings Berhad Company No.: 125863-K (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiary companies Notes to the Financial Statements The total number of employees of the Group and the Company at the end of the financial year were 736 (2002: 719) and 11 (2002: 11) respectively. The Company is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia and listed on the Second Board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. The address of the registered office of the Company is 8-10 Lorong Nagasari 26, Taman Nagasari, 13600 Perai, Penang. The principal place of business of the Company is at 15, Jalan Tandang, 46050 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan. The Board has authorised the issuance of the financial statements on 28 October 2003. 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES The Group’s financial risk management objective is to ensure that there is adequate financial resources available to meet its operating requirements and managing the associated risks effectively. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge its risks and trade in financial instruments during the financial year. The major risks arising from the Group’s financial instruments are credit risk, foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity and cash flow risk. We set out below the policies and other measures taken to manage these risks:Credit risk The Group is exposed to credit risk mainly from trade receivables. They are subject to continuous review. 37 Foreign currency risk The Group’s foreign exchange risks comprise transaction risk which arises from day-to-day requirements to pay and to receive in currencies other than the local currency, and structural foreign currency translation exposures arising from investments in foreign subsidiary companies which are denominated in the currencies where they are domiciled. The Group does not actively use foreign exchange derivative instrument as a means to hedge its transaction risk. The risk is, by large, naturally hedged through matching, as far as possible, receipts and payments in each individual currency. The pegging of Ringgit Malaysia to US Dollar by the Central Bank further reduces the transaction risks as far as conversion needs between the two currencies are concerned. Interest rate risk The Group is exposed to interest rate risk mainly from its fixed deposits and borrowings. The Group mitigates the exposure on interest rate fluctuation by borrowing at both fixed and floating rate of interest. These notes form part of the financial statements. Amtek Holdings Berhad Company No.: 125863-K (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiary companies Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2003 2. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (Cont’d) Liquidity and cash flow risk The Group practices prudent liquidity risk management by maintaining sufficient cash and committed credit facilities for future use. 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 3.1 Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated in this summary of significant accounting policies. The financial statements comply with the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies Act 1965, requires the Directors to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 3.2 Basis of consolidation Subsidiary companies are those companies in which the Group has power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. Unless otherwise indicated, the Group is deemed to have power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies of subsidiary companies if the Company owns, directly or indirectly through its subsidiary companies, more than one half of the voting power of the subsidiary companies. 38 The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and subsidiary companies made up to the end of the financial year. Financial statements of subsidiary companies are consolidated from the date on which the control is transferred to the Group and ceased to be consolidated from the date that control ceases. Subsidiary companies are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the results of subsidiary companies acquired or disposed during the financial year are included from the date of acquisition up to the date of disposal. At the date of acquisition, the fair values of the subsidiary companies’ net assets are determined and these values are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The difference between the acquisition cost and the fair values of the subsidiary companies’ net assets is reflected as goodwill/negative goodwill on consolidation. Minority interest is measured at the minorities’ share of the net results of operations and the net assets of subsidiary company concerned. These notes form part of the financial statements. 30 June 2003 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 3.2 Basis of consolidation (Cont’d) All inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where the accounting policies adopted by a subsidiary company are inconsistent with the Group’s policies, the financial statements of the subsidiary company have been restated to be in compliance with the Group’s policies. 3.3 Investment Amtek Holdings Berhad Company No.: 125863-K (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiary companies Notes to the Financial Statements Investment in subsidiary companies and other non current investment are shown at cost and adjusted for impairment where the diminution in value is not temporary. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the period in which the diminution is identified. On disposal of an investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is charged or credited to the income statement. 3.4 Goodwill i) Goodwill/negative goodwill on consolidation Goodwill/negative goodwill on consolidation represents the difference between the fair value of purchase consideration of subsidiary companies acquired and the Group’s share of the fair values of their separable net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on consolidation is reported in the balance sheet as an intangible asset or liability and is amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life or 25 years, whichever is shorter. ii) Purchased goodwill Purchased goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of purchase consideration of business acquired over the Group’s share of the fair values of their separable net assets at the date of acquisition. Purchased goodwill is amortised using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life or 25 years, whichever is shorter. The carrying amount of goodwill is reviewed annually and written down to account for impairment where necessary. 3.5 Property, plant and equipment All property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. An item is recognised as property, plant and equipment when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the property, plant and equipment will flow to the Group. These notes form part of the financial statements. 39 Amtek Holdings Berhad Company No.: 125863-K (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiary companies Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2003 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 3.5 Property, plant and equipment (Cont’d) Freehold land and capital work-in-progress are not depreciated. All other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis to write off the carrying amount of each asset to their respective residual value over its remaining useful lives. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Number of years Freehold buildings Long leasehold land and buildings Plant and machinery Motor vehicles Furniture and fixtures Equipment and office equipment 50 50 - 99 5 - 10 5 5 - 10 3 - 10 Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Interest costs on borrowings to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalised as part of the cost of the asset during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use. 3.6 Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The costs of raw material and trading inventories comprise the original cost of purchase plus the cost of bringing the inventories to their intended location and condition. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and appropriate proportion of production overheads. 40 Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and selling expenses. 3.7 Trade receivables Trade receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. All known bad debts are written off in the period in which they are identified. An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the period end. 3.8 Liabilities Borrowings, trade and other payables are stated at cost. These notes form part of the financial statements. 30 June 2003 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 3.9 Provisions Provisions, if any, is recognised when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount. 3.10 Leases Amtek Holdings Berhad Company No.: 125863-K (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiary companies Notes to the Financial Statements Operating lease Assets acquired under operating lease agreements that all the risks and benefits of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating lease. Payments made under operating lease are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. When the operating lease is terminated before the lease period has expired, any payment required to be made to the lessor by penalty is recognised as an expense in the period in which termination takes place. Finance lease Financed lease assets are capitalised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset or the present value of the minimum lease payments, at the inception of the lease. Assets acquired under finance lease agreements that give rights approximating ownership are capitalised in the balance sheet, as if they had been purchased outright. Outstanding obligations due under the lease agreements after deducting finance expenses are included as liabilities in the financial statements. The excess of the lease payments over the recorded lease obligations is treated as finance charges which are amortised over each lease term to give a constant rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations. These assets are depreciated in accordance with the depreciation policy of the Group. Hire purchase transactions which have the similar criteria with the finance lease are accounted for as finance lease. 3.11 Taxation and deferred taxation Income tax on the results for the financial year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred taxation liability and asset are accounted for using the liability method at the current tax rate in respect of all temporary differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the balance sheet and its tax base including unused tax losses and capital allowances. These notes form part of the financial statements. 41 Amtek Holdings Berhad Company No.: 125863-K (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiary companies Notes to the Financial Statements 30 June 2003 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 3.11 Taxation and deferred taxation (Cont’d) A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that is it probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible 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 probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or that entire deferred tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable that sufficient future taxable profit will be available, such reductions will be reversed. Previously, deferred taxation is provided using the liability method on all timing differences between accounting income and taxable income except where there is reasonable evidence that these timing differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax benefits are recognised only if there is a reasonable expectation of their realisation in the foreseeable future. The change in accounting policy is made to be in compliance with MASB 25 which is applied retrospectively. 3.12 Revenue recognition Sale of goods Revenue from sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable and is recognised in the income statement when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Group. Rendering of services Revenue from rendering of management services is measured at the fair value of consideration receivable and is recognised in the income statement when it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Group. 42 Other revenues are recognised on the following bases: Rental income - on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement unless collectibility is in doubt. Interest income - on an accrual basis (taking into account the effective yield on the assets) unless collectibility is in doubt. Dividend income - when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment are established. Royalty income - on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement. Commission income - on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreement unless collectibility is in doubt. These notes form part of the financial statements. 30 June 2003 3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 3.13 Foreign currencies Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of the net investment in foreign entities and of borrowings that hedge such investment are taken to ‘currency translation differences’ in shareholders’ equity. On disposal of the foreign entity, such translation differences are recognised in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on disposal. Amtek Holdings Berhad Company No.: 125863-K (Incorporated in Malaysia) and its subsidiary companies Notes to the Financial Statements Foreign currency transactions of the Group are accounted for at exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates, unless hedged by forward foreign exchange contracts, in which case the rates specified in such forward contracts are used.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d) 3.16 Impairment of assets The carrying amount of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment on a revalued asset where the impairment loss is recognised directly against the revaluation surplus credit from the previous revaluation for the same asset with excess of the impairment loss charged to the income statement. All reversals of impairment losses are recognised as income immediately in the income statement except for the reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset where the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase and credited to the revaluation surplus account of the same asset. An impairment loss is only reversed to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed its carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised. 3.17 Financial instruments Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, investment, receivable, payable and borrowings. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual accounting policy statements associated with each item. Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument classified as liability are reported as expense or income. Distributions to holders of financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity. Financial instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset settle the liability simultaneously. 3.18 Comparatives 44 The comparative figures were extended to comply with the additional disclosure requirements of the applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia that are applicable for the financial year ended 30 June 2003.
