B1 Review of performance
The Group achieved revenue of RM42.50 million for the period under review against RM28.52 million in
the corresponding period of preceding year, representing an increase of 49%. The increase in revenue
against the same quarter last year was mainly due to increase in sales from Machine Vision System
(MVS), Automated Board Inspection (ABI) and Electronics Communication System (ECS). Sales from
MVS, ABI and ECS have recorded an increase of 89%, 35% and 19% respectively against the
corresponding period of preceding year. The increase in sales recorded was mainly due to higher
demand from customers.

The Group achieved a profit before tax of RM13.51 million against profit before tax of RM5.39 million in
the corresponding quarter, representing an increase of 151%. The higher profit before tax was attributed
to increase in sales recorded, appreciation of US Dollar and grant related income received.
Correspondingly, the Group recorded a profit after tax of RM13.74 million against profit after tax of
RM5.26 million in the corresponding quarter.

B2 Variation of results against immediate preceding quarter

for the current quarter under review against revenue and profit before tax of RM39.51 million and

B8 Financial instruments
The carrying amounts of receivables, cash and cash equivalents and payables which are short-term in
nature or repayable on demand are reasonable approximations of fair values.

The fair value of term loan is measured using present value technique by discounting the expected future
cash flows using observable current market interest rates for similar liabilities (i.e. Level 2). The fair value
measured is considered to be reasonably close to the carrying amount reported as the observable
current market interest rates also approximate to the effective interest rate of term loan.

The fair value of forward exchange contracts were quoted by the financial institutions, which normally
measured the fair values using present value technique by discounting the differences between
contractual forward prices and observable current market forward prices using risk-free interest rate (i.e.
Level 2).
