CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements of Perusahaan
Sadur Timah Malaysia (PERSTIMA) Berhad (Perstima or the Company), and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the financial
year ended 31 March 2013.
Company Performance and Development

During the financial year under review, the Group has recorded a turnover of RM655.5 million, a decrease of 18.2% as compared
to the previous financial year of RM801.0 million. The lower turnover was mainly attributable to lower sales volume and lower
selling price as compared to the previous year. The lower sales volume was attributed to the aggressive importation of tinplate in
the region and lower selling price was in tandem with the international market trend.
The Groups profit before exceptional items and taxation of RM32.9 million for financial year ended 31 March 2013 was lower compared
to RM41.3 million in the previous financial year due to lower profit margin as a result of stiff competition in the global market.
Dividend
An interim dividend of 13.5 sen per ordinary share of RM1.00 each less 25% income tax in respect of the financial year ended 31
March 2013 was paid on 7 December 2012. The Board has recommended a final dividend of 26.5 sen per ordinary share of
RM1.00 each less 25% income tax for the financial year ended 31 March 2013.
Industry and Prospects

The Board expects the Groups operation and environment to remain challenging and competitive. The steel price is expected to
stabilise as there would be sufficient supply of raw materials. At the same time, with the liberalisation of the import duty on
finished products, the Company is aggressively pursuing cost improvement programme and enhancement of the Groups
operational efficiency to ensure the competitiveness of its products.
The Group has completed its conversion of tinplate process to methane sulphonic acid process in Pasir Gudang plant with some
additional improvement. The Group intends to extend the same to its operation in Vietnam during the year apart from
modernization of its shearing process. With this facility, the Company is well prepared to meet the market requirement. Barring
any unforeseen circumstances, the Board envisages that the Group can achieve a satisfactory performance.
Environmental, Social and Governance

The Group consistently supports environment, social and welfare activities in the community it operates. The Group also
continuously participate in donations to charities and blood donation campaign to instill the culture of caring for the community.
The Group extends the opportunity to undergraduates to undergo industrial training in Perstima and provides the position of
management trainee to the graduates. The Group also plays an active role in cultivating healthy life style amongst its employees
and their family members.
Acknowledgement
On behalf of the Board, I wish to express my deep appreciation to the Management and employees for their hard work and
dedication. I also wish to thank our shareholders, customers, bankers, suppliers, business associates and relevant Government
authorities for their support and confidence in us. Finally, I would also like to record my appreciation to my fellow colleagues on

STATEMENT ON RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL

(Pursuant to para 15.27(b) of Requirements of Bursa Securities)
BOARDS RESPONSIBILITIES
The Board recognises that it is responsible for the Groups system of internal control and for reviewing its adequacy and integrity.
As with any internal control system, controls can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against material
misstatement or loss, as it is designed to manage rather than eliminating the risk of failure to achieve business objectives.
The Board has received assurance from the Managing Director, the Deputy Managing Director and the Deputy General Manager
that the Groups risks management and internal control system is operating adequately and effectively in all material aspect based
on the risk management and internal control system of the Group.
RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

The Board recognises the need for an effective risk management practice and to maintain a sound system of internal control.
Hence, the Board has formalized and established the risk management framework for the Group to create awareness among all
management staff on the risk management process. Workshop and interviews were conducted with the senior management staff
of the Group to identify and evaluate the significant risks faced by the Group. Detailed risk registers of the principal risks and
controls have been created and a risk profile for the Group has been developed and is reviewed by the Risk Management
Committee and Board of Directors on an annual basis.
INTERNAL AUDIT
The Board recognises the need for an internal audit function and has engaged the services of an independent professional
accounting and consulting firm to provide the assurance it requires on the effectiveness as well as the adequacy and integrity of
the Groups systems of internal control. The Board has established that the internal audit functions are independent of the
activities or operations of the operating units and report directly to the Audit Committee. Scheduled meeting of the internal auditor
and Audit Committee were conducted to ensure the appropriateness of the scope and objective of each cycle audit.
The internal audit adopts a risk-based approach in developing its audit plan which addresses the core auditable areas of the Group
based on the risk profile established by the Risk Management Committee. Scheduled internal audits are carried out by the internal
auditors based on the audit plan and programmes, and revised plan and programmes if any, presented to and approved by the
Audit Committee to provide independent and objective reports on the state of internal control of the operating units. The audit
focuses on areas with high risk as well as areas identified with inadequate controls to ensure the effectiveness of the controls in
mitigating those risks in the detailed risk registers. The internal auditors also follow up with the management in the implementation
of action plans recommended to improve areas where control deficiencies identified during the internal audits.
INTERNAL CONTROL
The Groups internal controls, amongst others include:Annual Budget
The Board has reviewed and approved the Groups budget for the year including major capital expenditure. As part of the
budgeting process, the Group considers both internal and external risk factors that may affect the Groups profitability. This
includes analysing the Groups historical performance, competitors, customers requirements and customers business trends,
production capacity and other internal resources. At each quarterly Audit Committee Meetings and Board meetings, actual
performance and results were monitored against budgets, with reasons for significant variances identified and highlighted to the
Board for the appropriate corrective measures.
Financial Limits And Approving Authority
The Company has a policy on the financial limits and approving authority for its revenue and expenditure, and capital expenditure
with appropriate approving authority thresholds to ensure all revenue and expenditure, and capital expenditure are in line with the
Groups strategic objectives.
Other Control Processes
The Board recognises the importance of maintaining a control conscious culture throughout the Group. The Groups organisation
structure, including the Vietnam operations, identifies the heads of each department, supervisors and their subordinates. The
structure enables a clear reporting line from worker level up to the Board. The Board formally communicates its expectation
throughout the Group through various formal documents such as the Guidelines for Rules, Regulation and Work Instructions,
Responsibility Statements, Lines of Authority, ISO Policies & Procedures, Safety Policy & Manual and the Employees Code of
Ethics. The Boards expectations are also communicated informally throughout the Group through the Executive Directors who are
actively involved in the operations of the Group.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013
DIRECTORS REPORT (CONTD)

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 has been made for doubtful debts, and
ii) any current assets which were unlikely to be realised in the ordinary course of business have been written down to an amount
which they might be expected so to realise.
At the date of this report, the Directors are not aware of any circumstances:
i) that would render the amount written off for bad debts or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts in the Group and in 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.
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 financial performance of the Group and of the Company for the financial year ended 31 March
2013 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.
Auditors
The auditors, Messrs KPMG, have indicated their willingness to accept re-appointment.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the financial statements of Perusahaan Sadur Timah Malaysia (Perstima) Berhad, which comprise the statements of
financial position as at 31 March 2013 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other
explanatory information, as set out on pages 30 to 64.
Directors Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and fair view in accordance
with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
The Directors are also responsible for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with
approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation of
financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company as of 31 March
2013 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting
Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

In accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia, we also report the following:
(a) In our opinion, the accounting and other records and the registers required by the Act to be kept by the Company and its subsidiaries
of which we have acted as auditors have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
(b) We have considered the accounts and the auditors reports of the subsidiary of which we have not acted as auditors, which are
indicated in Note 5 to the financial statements.
(c) We are satisfied that the accounts of the subsidiaries that have been consolidated with the Companys financial statements are in
form and content appropriate and proper for the purposes of the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and we have
received satisfactory information and explanations required by us for those purposes.
(d) The audit reports on the accounts of the subsidiaries did not contain any qualification or any adverse comment made under Section
174(3) of the Act.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT (CONTD)

TO THE MEMBERS OF PERUSAHAAN SADUR TIMAH MALAYSIA (PERSTIMA) BERHAD
Other Reporting Responsibilities

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The information set out in Note
26 on page 65 to the financial statements has been compiled by the Company as required by the Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing
Requirements and is not required by the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards or International Financial Reporting Standards. We
have extended our audit procedures to report on the process of compilation of such information. In our opinion, the information has been
properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the Guidance on Special Matter No.1, Determination of Realised and
Unrealised Profits or Losses in the Context of Disclosures Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirements, issued by
the Malaysian Institute of Accountants and presented based on the format prescribed by Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
Other Matters
As stated in Note 1(a) to the financial statements, Perusahaan Sadur Timah Malaysia (Perstima) Berhad adopted Malaysian Financial
Reporting Standards (MFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on 1 April 2012 with a transition date of 1 April
2011. These standards were applied retrospectively by the Directors to the comparative information in these financial statements,
including the statements of financial position as at 31 March 2012 and 1 April 2011, and the statements of comprehensive income,
changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2012 and related disclosures. We were not engaged to report on the
comparative information that is prepared in accordance with MFRS and IFRS, and hence it is unaudited. Our responsibilities as part of
our audit of the financial statements of the Group and of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2013 have, in these circumstances,
included obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence that the opening balances as at 1 April 2012 do not contain misstatements that
materially affect the financial position as of 31 March 2013 and financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended.
This report is made solely to the members of the Company, as a body, in accordance with Section 174 of the Companies Act, 1965 in
Malaysia and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility to any other person for the content of this report.

Amendments to MFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures Mandatory Effective Date of MFRS 9 and Transition Disclosures
The Group and the Company plan to apply the abovementioned standards, amendments and interpretations in the respective
financial year when the above standards, amendments and interpretations become effective.
The initial application of these standards, amendments and interpretations are not expected to have any material financial impacts
to the current and prior periods financial statements of the Group and the Company upon their first adoption.
(b) Basis of measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in Note 2.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
These financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the Companys functional currency. All financial
information is presented in RM and has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with MFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in
the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
There are no significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have significant
effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
2. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to the periods presented in these financial statements and
in preparing the opening MFRS statements of financial position of the Group and of the Company at 1 April 2011 (the transition
date to MFRS framework), unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities, including unincorporated entities, controlled by the Company. The financial statements of
subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that
control ceases. Control exists when the Company has the ability to exercise its power to govern the financial and operating
policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently
are exercisable are taken into account.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Companys statement of financial position at cost less any
impairment losses, unless the investment is classified as held for sale or distribution. The cost of investments
includes transaction costs.
37
ANNUAL REPORT 2013
2. Significant accounting policies (contd)

(a) Basis of consolidation (contd)
(ii) Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method from the acquisition date, which is the date on
which control is transferred to the Group.
The Group measures the cost of goodwill at the acquisition date as:
the fair value of the consideration transferred; plus

the recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquire; plus
if the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquire; less
the net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interests in the acquiree either
at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in
connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
(iii) Loss of control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, any
non-controlling interests and the other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or deficit arising on
the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary, then such
interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity-accounted
investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.
(iv) Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or
indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and
statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company.
Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the comprehensive income for the year between
non-controlling interests and owners of the Company.
Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if
doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
(v) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions,
are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Foreign currency
(i)
Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange
rates at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the end of the reporting period are retranslated to the
functional currency at the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are not retranslated at the end of the reporting date
except for those that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the
date that the fair value was determined.
Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss.
38
ANNUAL REPORT 2013

(b) Foreign currency (contd)
(ii) Operations denominated in functional currencies other than Ringgit Malaysia
The assets and liabilities of operations denominated in functional currencies other than RM, including goodwill and fair
value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to RM at exchange rates at the end of the reporting period. The
income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to RM at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the foreign currency
translation reserve (FCTR) in equity. However, if the operation is a non-wholly-owned subsidiary, then the relevant
proportionate share of the translation difference is allocated to the non-controlling interests. When a foreign operation is
disposed of such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the FCTR related to
that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining
control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group
disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining
significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.
In the consolidated financial statements, when settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign
operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a
monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other
comprehensive income, and are presented in the FCTR in equity.
(c) Financial instruments
(i)
Initial recognition and measurement

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group
or the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial instrument is recognised initially, at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial instrument not at fair value
through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument.
An embedded derivative is recognised separately from the host contract and accounted for as a derivative if, and only if,
it is not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract and the host contract is not
categorised at fair value through profit or loss. The host contract, in the event an embedded derivative is recognised
separately, is accounted for in accordance with policy applicable to the nature of the host contract.
(ii)
Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement

The Group and the Company categorise financial instruments as follows:
Financial assets
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial assets that are held for trading, including derivatives
(except for a derivative that is a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument) or
financial assets that are specifically designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments whose fair values
cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost.
Other financial assets categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair values
with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
(b) Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables category comprises debt instruments that are not quoted in an active market.
Financial assets categorised as loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.
All financial assets, except for those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are subject to review for impairment
(see Note 2(h)(i)).
39
ANNUAL REPORT 2013

(c) Financial instruments (contd)
(ii) Financial instrument categories and subsequent measurement (contd)
(b) Loans and receivables (contd)
Financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost other than those categorised as fair value through
profit or loss.
Fair value through profit or loss category comprises financial liabilities that are derivatives (except for a derivative that is
a financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument) or financial liabilities that are specifically
designated into this category upon initial recognition.
Derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of unquoted equity instruments whose fair values cannot be
reliably measured are measured at cost.
Other financial liabilities categorised as fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at their fair values
with the gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.
(iii) Financial guarantee contracts
A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder
for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the original or modified
terms of a debt instrument.
Financial guarantee contracts are classified as deferred income and are amortised to profit or loss using a straight-line
method over the contractual period or, when there is no specified contractual period, recognised in profit or loss upon
discharge of the guarantee. When settlement of a financial guarantee contract becomes probable, an estimate of the
obligation is made. If the carrying value of the financial guarantee contract is lower than the obligation, the carrying value
is adjusted to the obligation amount and accounted for as a provision.
(iv) Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets
A regular way purchase or sale is a purchase or sale of a financial asset under a contract whose terms require delivery
of the asset within the time frame established generally by regulation or convention in the marketplace concerned.
A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognised and derecognised, as applicable, using trade date
accounting. Trade date accounting refers to:
(a) the recognition of an asset to be received and the liability to pay for it on the trade date, and
(b) derecognition of an asset that is sold, recognition of any gain or loss on disposal and the recognition of a receivable
from the buyer for payment on the trade date.
(v) Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks
and rewards of the asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum
of the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) and any cumulative gain
or loss that had been recognised in equity is recognised in profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified in the contract is
discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount
of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash
assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
40
ANNUAL REPORT 2013

(d) Property, plant and equipment
(i)
Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated
impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset and any other costs directly
attributable to bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the
items and restoring the site on which they are located. The cost of self-constructed assets also includes the cost of
materials and direct labour. For qualifying assets, borrowing costs are capitalised in accordance with the accounting
policy on borrowing costs. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges
of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment.
Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair value at
acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged between
knowledgeable willing parties in an arms length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted
knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is based on the
quoted market prices for similar items when available and replacement cost when appropriate.
When significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as
separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
The gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from
disposal with the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment and is recognised net within other income and other
expenses respectively in profit or loss.
(ii) Subsequent costs

The cost of replacing a component of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of
the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the component will flow to the Group or the
Company, and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognised to
profit or loss. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as
incurred.
(iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are
assessed, and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, then that component is
depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of
an item of property, plant and equipment. Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 5 to 25 years. Property,
plant and equipment under construction are not depreciated until the assets are ready for their intended use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
Leasehold land
Plant and machinery
Furniture, fittings and equipment and motor vehicles
60 - 99 years
5 - 15 years
3 - 5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of the reporting period and adjusted as
appropriate.
(e) Leased assets
(i)
Finance lease
Leases in terms of which the Group or the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified
as finance leases. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and
the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance
with the accounting policy applicable to that asset.
Minimum lease payments made under finance leases are apportioned between the finance expense and the reduction of the
outstanding liability. The finance expense is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent lease payments are accounted for by revising the minimum
lease payments over the remaining term of the lease when the lease adjustment is confirmed.
Leasehold land which in substance is a finance lease is classified as property, plant and equipment.
41
ANNUAL REPORT 2013

(e) Leased assets (contd)
(ii) Operating leases
Leases, where the Group or the Company does not assume substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are
classified as operating leases and the leased assets are not recognised in the statement of financial position.
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Lease incentives received are recognised in profit or loss as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of
the lease. Contingent rentals are charged to profit or loss in the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Leasehold land which in substance is an operating lease is classified as prepaid lease payments.
(f) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories is measured based on the weighted average cost formula and includes expenditure incurred in
acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location
and condition. In the case of work-in-progress and finished goods, cost includes an appropriate share of production
overheads based on normal operating capacity.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion
and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(g) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, balances and deposits with banks and highly liquid investments which
have an insignificant risk of changes in fair value with original maturities of three months or less, and are used by the Group
and the Company in the management of their short term commitments. For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, cash
and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and pledged deposits.
(h) Impairment
(i)
Financial assets
All financial assets (except for financial assets categorized as fair value through profit or loss and investments in
subsidiaries) are assessed at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of
one or more events having an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the asset. Losses expected as a result of
future events, no matter how likely, are not recognised. For an investment in an equity instrument, a significant or
prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost is an objective evidence of impairment. If any such objective evidence
exists, then the financial assets recoverable amount is estimated.
An impairment loss in respect of loans and receivables is recognised in profit or loss and is measured as the difference
between the assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the assets
original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.
If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can be objectively related to an
event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised in profit or loss, the impairment loss is reversed, to the extent
that the assets carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not
been recognised at the date the impairment is reversed. The amount of the reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
(ii) Other assets

The carrying amounts of other assets (except for inventories and deferred tax assets) are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the assets
recoverable amount is estimated.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash
inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units.
Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, cash-generating units to
which goodwill has been allocated are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the
lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes. The goodwill acquired in a business
combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to group of cash-generating units that are expected to
benefit from the synergies of the combination.
42
ANNUAL REPORT 2013

(h) Impairment (contd)
(ii) Other assets (contd)
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs
to sell. In assessing value in use, the 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 or
cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its related cash-generating unit exceeds its
estimated recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit (group of
cash-generating units) and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the cash-generating unit (groups
of cash-generating units) on a pro rata basis.
Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at the end of each reporting period for any indications that
the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates
used to determine the recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed
only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Reversals of impairment
losses are credited to profit or loss in the financial year in which the reversals are recognised.
(i)
Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss
except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive
income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted
or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous
financial years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position and their tax bases. Deferred tax is not recognised for the
following temporary differences: the initial recognition of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a
transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax
is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on
the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets,
and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities,
but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised
simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
(j)
Revenue and other income

(i)
Goods sold
Revenue from the sale of goods in the course of ordinary activities is measured at fair value of the consideration received
or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade discount and volume rebates. Revenue is recognised when
persuasive evidence exists, usually in the form of an executed sales agreement, that the significant risks and rewards of
ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and
possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods,
and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can
be measured reliably, then the discount is recognised as a reduction of revenue as the sales are recognised.
43
ANNUAL REPORT 2013

(j)
Revenue and other income (contd)

(ii) Interest income
Interest income is recognised as it accrues using the effective interest method in profit or loss except for interest income
arising from temporary investment of borrowings taken specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset which
is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy on borrowing costs.
(iii) Dividend income
Dividend income is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the Groups or the Companys right to receive payment is
established.
(k) Borrowings costs

Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that
necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised as part of the cost of
those assets.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset commences when expenditure for the asset is
being incurred, borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use
or sale are in progress. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended or ceases when substantially all the activities
necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are interrupted or completed.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets
is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.
(l)
Employee benefits
(i)
Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligations in respect of salaries, annual bonuses, paid annual leave and sick leave are
measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short term cash bonus or profit-sharing plans if the
Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the
employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Groups contribution to statutory pension funds are charged to profit or loss in the financial year to which they relate.
Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has no further payment obligations.
(m) Earnings per ordinary share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (EPS).
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted
average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for own shares held.
(n) Operating segments
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and
incur expenses, including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Groups other components. An
operating segments operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker, which in this case is the
Managing Director of the Group, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its
performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

22.3 Financial risk management

The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:
Credit risk
Liquidity risk
Market risk
22.4 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Group and Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations. The Groups and Company's exposure to credit risk arises principally from its receivables from third
party customers and its subsidiaries.
Receivables
Risk management objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis and credit evaluations are
performed on customers requiring credit over a certain amount.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk arising from receivables is represented by the carrying
amounts in the statement of financial position.
Management has taken reasonable steps to ensure that receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are measured at their
realisable values. A significant portion of these receivables are regular customers that have been transacting with the Group and
Company. The Group and Company uses ageing analysis to monitor the credit quality of the receivables. Depending on the nature
of the industries, any receivables having significant balances past due more than certain number of days, which are deemed to have
higher credit risk, are monitored individually.

The allowance account in respect of trade receivables is used to record impairment losses. Unless the Group and Company is
satisfied that recovery of the amount is possible, the amount considered irrecoverable is written off against the receivable directly.
In determining whether allowance is required to be made, the Group and Company considers financial background of the customers,
past transactions and other specific reasons causing these balances to be past due more than 90 days.
Balances due from subsidiaries
As at the end of the reporting period, the maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by their carrying amounts in the statement
of financial position.
The Company does not specifically monitor the ageing of the amount due from subsidiaries. The Company monitors instead their
individual financial position in assessing its credit risk.
Impairment losses
As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the amounts due from subsidiaries are not recoverable.
Financial guarantees
The Group provides unsecured financial guarantees to banks in respect of banking facilities granted to a subsidiary. The Company
monitors on an ongoing basis the results of the subsidiary and repayments made by the subsidiary.
Exposure to credit risk, credit quality and collateral
The maximum exposure to credit risk amounts to RM83,430,000 (31.3.2012: RM102,647,000; 1.4.2011: RM101,293,000)
representing the outstanding banking facilities of the subsidiary as at end of the reporting period.
As at the end of the reporting period, there was no indication that the subsidiary would default on repayment.
The financial guarantees have not been recognised since the fair value on initial recognition was not material.

ANNUAL REPORT 2013

22.5 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Groups
and Companys exposure to liquidity risk arises principally from its various payables, loans and borrowings.
The Group and Company maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents and bank facilities deemed adequate by the management
to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they fall due.

22.6 Market risk (contd)
Currency risk sensitivity analysis
A 10% (2012: 10%) strengthening of the Ringgit Malaysia ("RM") against the USD at the end of the reporting period would have
increased / (decreased) equity and post-tax profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables,
in particular interest rates, remained constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.

A 10% (2012: 10%) weakening of RM against the USD at the end of the reporting period would have had equal but opposite effect
on the USD to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remained constant.
Interest rate risk
The Group's and the Company's investment in fixed rate debt securities and its fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change
in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. Short term receivables and payables are not exposed to interest rate risk.
There is no formal hedging policy with respect to interest rate exposure. Exposure to interest rate risk is monitored on an ongoing
basis and the Group and the Company endeavour to keep the exposure to an acceptable level.

Fair value sensitivity analysis for fixed rate instruments

The Group and Company does not account for any fixed rate financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
Therefore, a change in interest rates at the end of the reporting period would not affect profit or loss.
22.7 Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term receivables and payables and short term borrowings approximate fair
values due to the relatively short term nature of these financial instruments.

Directors monitor and determine to maintain an optimal capital and liquidity ratio that enables the Group to operate effectively with
minimum external borrowings.
As at year end, the level of debt maintained by the Group is as follows:

25. Explanation of transition to MFRSs
As stated in Note 1(a), these are the first financial statements of the Group prepared in accordance with MFRSs.
The accounting policies set out in Note 2 have been applied in preparing the financial statements of the Group for the financial year
ended 31 March 2013, the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2012
and in the preparation of the opening MFRS statement of financial position at 1 April 2011 (the Groups date of transition to MFRSs).
In preparing the opening statement of financial position at 1 April 2011, the Group has adjusted amounts reported previously in
financial statements prepared in accordance with previous FRSs.
There are no material differences between the statements of financial performance and cash flows presented under MFRSs and the
statements of financial performance and cash flows under FRSs.
Other than as explained in Note 25.1 below, there are no material differences between the statement of financial position under
MFRSs and the statement of financial position under FRSs.
25.1 Notes to reconciliations
Property, plant and equipment Deemed cost exemption previous revaluation
Under FRSs, the Group had availed itself to the transitional provision when the MASB first adopted IAS 16, Property, Plant and
Equipment in 1998. Certain freehold land, leasehold land and buildings was revalued in 1992 and no later valuation has been
recorded for this property (except in the case of impairment adjustments based on valuation).
Upon transition to MFRSs, the Group elected to apply the optional exemption to use that previous revaluation as deemed cost under
MFRSs. The revaluation reserve of RM196,000 at 1 April 2011 and 31 March 2012 was reclassified to retained earnings.
The aggregate fair value of the leasehold land and buildings of the Group in 1992 was determined to be RM27,655,000 compared to
the then carrying amount of RM18,478,000 under FRSs.
