BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear Shareholders,
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Group recorded a 19.19% contraction in revenue at RM18.28 million from RM22.62 million in the
previous financial year. Group profit before tax rose from RM0.15 million to RM0.78 million.
The global economic slowdown contributed to the lower revenue. However, Group profit before
tax increased as margins had improved on sales of higher quality heavy machinery and there was
commission earned from the sale of used motor vehicles. Reduction in operating expenses due to
intense effort by the Management to optimize utilization of resources also contributed to the improved
profit.
OPERATIONS REVIEW
Better results were achieved despite very competitive domestic and overseas markets. The Group is
concentrating on sourcing and buying quality used heavy machinery at competitive prices to meet
existing demand. This would also reduce reconditioning and holding costs.
PROSPECTS
The outlook for heavy machinery industry remains competitive and challenging. Rising operational
costs and the prevailing global economic slowdown will affect the growth and profitability of the
Group. Nevertheless, the Group will continue to optimize utilization of its resources, explore new
overseas markets and seek better quality heavy machinery to maintain satisfactory results in the
following financial year.
DIVIDEND
The Board of Directors does not recommend the payment of any dividend for the financial year ended
31 December 2011.
APPRECIATION
I would like to thank our vendors, bankers and customers for their assistance and support. To our
employees, please accept our deep appreciation for your effort, dedication and loyalty.

The Board of Directors of United Bintang Berhad (“UBB” or “the Company”) is committed to ensuring
that the sound principles of corporate governance set out in the Malaysian Code on Corporate
Governance (“the Code”) are practiced with the ultimate objective of protecting and enhancing
shareholder value.
To this end, the Board continues to evaluate the Group’s corporate governance procedures, and
to introduce various measures and implement the best practices in so far as they are relevant to the
Group, bearing in mind the nature of the Group’s businesses and the size of its business operations.
The Board of UBB is pleased to report below on how the Group has applied the principles and best
practices as prescribed in the Code. Unless otherwise stated below, the Company has throughout the
financial year ended 31 December 2011 (“FY 2011”) complied with all aspects of the Code.
1. DIRECTORS
The Board members recognise the key role they play in charting the strategic direction,
development and control of the Group and have assumed the responsibilities listed in the
Code to facilitate the discharge of their stewardship responsibilities.
To ensure a balance of power and authority at the head of the Company, the roles of
the Chairman and the Managing Director are clearly defined with their individual position
descriptions. The Chairman guides and ensures the effectiveness of the Board policies and
acts as a facilitator at Board Meetings, while the Managing Director is tasked to run the day
to day management of the business as well as the implementation of the Board’s policies
and decisions. Together, the Directors bring a wide range and good mix of business, financial
skills and experience relevant to the direction of a medium size, growing Group. A brief
profile of each Director is presented from pages 7 to 11 of this Annual Report.
Although all the Directors have equal stewardship responsibilities towards the Group, the
Board acknowledges that the role of independent non-executive directors are particularly
important as they bring independent judgment to bear on the issues of strategy, performance
and resources including key appointments and standards of conduct.
In this respect, the four Independent Non-Executive Directors who are individuals of calibre
and credibility with varied industrial skills and experience are capable of ensuring a balanced
and independent judgment on any issues or problems, which require the Board’s deliberation
and decision.
The Board of Directors plays a vital role in the stewardship of the Group’s direction and
operations, and ultimately the enhancement of long-term shareholder value. To fulfill this
role, the Board is responsible for the overall corporate governance of the Group, including
its strategic directions, establishing goals for management and monitoring the achievement
of these goals.
1. DIRECTORS (CONTINUED)
The Board has a formal schedule of matters specifically reserved to itself for decision to
ensure that the direction and control of the Group is firmly in its hands. The schedule involves
approval of major capital expenditure projects and consideration of asset acquisition
and divestment policies, significant financial matters including financial and operating
performance of the Group.
The Board meets four times in a financial year and additionally as and when required with
due notice of issues to be discussed given to each Director. The Company Secretary attends
all Board Meetings. Informal meetings and consultation among the Directors are also held
frequently and freely to share knowledge and expertise. For FY 2011, four scheduled Board
Meetings were held and the attendance records of each Director at these Board Meetings
are as follows:-
√ - present
All proceedings of the Board meetings which include decisions made and all issues discussed
by the Board in arriving at decisions were properly recorded in minutes of meetings and
signed by the Chairman of the meetings.
The Board has established three principal board committees to assist in carrying out specific
responsibilities for the Company. All three Board Committees operate under clearly defined
terms of reference. These Committees have the delegated authority to review particular issues
within their terms of reference and report back to the full Board with their recommendations.
The Board ultimately decides all significant matters before it. The three Board Committees
are the Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee.
During the reporting financial year, the Chairman had ensured that all the directors were
provided with an agenda and a set of board papers in a timely manner, usually in advance
of meetings. The board papers were comprehensive covering many aspects of matters
being considered, enabling the Board to look at both quantitative and qualitative factors
when dealing with any item on the agenda so that informed decisions were made. These
procedures enabled the directors to have sufficient time to peruse the papers and if
necessary, to obtain further information or clarification from the Management.
1. DIRECTORS (CONTINUED)
In addition to the Board papers, the Board was also notified of any corporate announcements
released to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa”) and was kept informed of the
requirements and updates issued by the various regulatory authorities, where relevant.
In furtherance of their duties, the Directors as a full Board or in their individual capacity have
access to all information within the Group as well as access to the advice and services
of the senior management and the Company Secretary. The Directors may also engage
independent professional services, where necessary, at the Group’s expense after having

The Board recognises the importance of communication with its shareholders, institutional investors
and the investing public at large and does this through the annual report, circular to shareholders,
quarterly results, corporate proposal announcements and holding of general meetings. The policy
of the Group is to maintain an active dialogue with its shareholders with the intention of giving
shareholders as clear and complete picture of the Group’s performance and position as possible.
Corporate information is also available from the Group’s website, www.ubb.com.my which is
linked to Bursa’s website at www.bursamalaysia.com.
The Board has identified Mr George Anthony Dass David as the Senior Independent Non-
Executive Director to whom queries and concerns regarding the Group may be conveyed by the
shareholders or investing public via fax no. 03-40436750 or by mail to the Company’s registered
office.
It has also been the Group’s practice to send the notice of general meeting and related papers

encouraged to ask questions both about the resolutions being proposed or about the Group’s
operations in general. Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) is held as and when shareholders’

sensitive information.
The Group’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
applicable approved accounting standards in Malaysia and the provisions of the Companies
Act, 1965. The Board is responsible for ensuring that the financial statements of the Group

results on quarterly and annual basis to the regulatory bodies in advance of the deadlines
set.
The Management had, through the convening of operational meetings from time to time
and preparation of monthly financial reports, reviewed the effectiveness, adequacy and
integrity of the Group’s system of internal controls. Any material shortcomings in control
systems had been reported back to the Board who shall continue to periodically review
these internal control systems to ensure that the shareholders’ interest and the Group’s assets
are protected at all times.
The Group has outsourced the internal audit function to an independent consultancy
company, which is independent from the Group’s appointed external auditors. The internal
audit consultants which report directly to the Audit Committee have commenced auditing

the audit findings and recommendations to the Board who is responsible for the adequacy
and integrity of the Group’s financial, operational and compliance controls as well as risk
assessment and management.
The Board maintains a close and transparent relationship with the Auditors in seeking

and other matters that the external auditors wish to discuss with the Audit Committee in the
absence of executive board members and management.

responsibility to analyse risks and to devise and implement effective systems of internal control.
The internal audit consultants are responsible to undertake independent, regular and systematic
reviews of the system of internal controls so as to provide reasonable assurance that such system
continues to operate satisfactorily and effectively. The following activities are carried out by the
internal audit consultants in discharging its duties:-
• Evaluate and improve the existing systems of internal control within the Group by reviewing
its adequacy and effectiveness in compliance with operational controls, established internal
procedures and statutory requirements.
• Ascertaining the extent to which the Group’s assets are accounted for and safeguarded.
The total cost incurred for the outsourced internal audit function of the Group for the financial
year ended 31 December 2011 was RM13,000.00.
BOARD RESPONSIBILITY
The Board of Directors recognises the importance of a sound internal control system as part of good
corporate governance within the Group. The Board affirms its overall responsibility for the Group’s
internal control system and for the review of its adequacy and integrity. The Board acknowledges that
risks cannot be completely eliminated. The system by its nature can only provide reasonable and not
absolute assurance against material misstatement, operational failure, fraud or loss.
The Board acknowledges the process of identifying and managing the key risks within the Group
are an integral part of the internal control environment. The Managing Director together with
management are responsible for identifying, evaluating, monitoring and managing the significant
risks applicable to their areas of businesses together with the design and operation of suitable internal
controls. Significant risks are reported to the Audit Committee who assesses on behalf of the Board
and makes recommendations for improvements to determine whether these risks are mitigated and
well managed.
The Group has outsourced its internal audit function to internal audit consultants. The Board of Directors,
with the assistance of the internal audit consultants, reviews the Group Business Risk Profile which
covers all major identified and significant risks and controls associated with the Group’s businesses. In
this respect, internal audits are carried out in accordance with the audit plan approved by the Board
and focuses on the identified areas of risks with priority towards the management of the significant
risks impacting the achievement of the business objectives of the Group. Periodic internal audit visits
are carried out to provide an independent assessment of the systems of internal control of the Group
with regard to their adequacy, existence and effectiveness, in particular and including the following:-
The Board is fully committed to ensuring that a proper control structure and environment is maintained
within the Group to provide sufficient assurance of an adequate and sound internal control
framework. The management has been entrusted by the Board of Directors to implement processes for
identification, assessment, management, monitoring and reporting of risks and to provide assurance
to the Board that it has done so. In order to achieve this, the Board has put in place the following
control systems: -
• Risk Management
Operational management has clear responsibility for identifying and evaluating the risks facing
their businesses, and for implementing corrective actions and procedures to manage, mitigate
and monitor such risks. Regular reviews are carried out by the management team and reported
to the Audit Committee. In addition, issues are identified, discussed and resolved within the
Group.
• Organisation Structure
The Group has an appropriate organisational structure which enables adequate monitoring
of the activities and ensures effective flow of information across the Group. There are clearly
defined lines of accountability and delegated authority. Appropriately qualified management
personnel are responsible for their operational areas and monitoring of effective internal control.
• Authority Levels
Clearly defined authorisation levels for various aspects of the business are set out in a formalised
and approved authority policy.
Adequate reports are generated for reviews on various operating units of the Group
encompassing operational, financial and regulatory areas. Comprehensive management
accounts and reports are prepared on a monthly basis for review by the Managing Director,
Financial Controller and senior management for effective monitoring and decision-making. The
year end financial statements and the announcements of the quarterly results are reviewed by
the Audit Committee before the Board’s approval and release to Bursa Malaysia. The Managing
Director and the Financial Controller review with the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis all
significant issues on finance and operations pertinent to the Group.
Management monitors the Group’s performance via monthly management reports which include
key performance indicators. Any exceptions noted will be duly investigated and reported.
The Managing Director and Financial Controller maintain close contact with the employees of
all levels which enable timely and effective communication.
Senior management is responsible for managing key risks applicable to their areas of business
activities on a continuous basis. All operational matters and issues are regularly reviewed and
resolved by the management team. Such risks are also discussed in the quarterly Audit Committee
meetings.
Clearly documented internal policies are set out in the Company Procedural Instructions
covering significant areas of operations such as Sales and Marketing, Shipping, Operations and
Finance, Accounts and Human Resources. Such standard operating procedures are subject to
regular reviews and improvement by the Management. Aside from the Company Procedural
Instructions, changes in internal control procedures are also communicated via circulars and
internal memos. Such circulars and memos are properly authorised by the relevant members of
senior management.
Through the establishment of sound internal control which includes monitoring and reporting
systems, the Board reports that the existing system of internal control was satisfactory. No material
losses have occurred during the financial year under review as a result of weaknesses in internal
control. The Board together with management continues to take measures to strengthen the
control environment.

(a) Before the statements of comprehensive income and statements of financial position of the
Group and of the Company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps:
(i) to ascertain that proper action had been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts
and the making of allowance for doubtful debts and satisfied themselves that there were no
known bad debts and that adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts; and

business their values as shown in the accounting records of the Group and of the Company
had been written down to an amount which they might be expected so to realise.
(b) At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances:
(i) which would render it necessary to write off any bad debts or the amount of the allowance
for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the Group and of the Company inadequate
to any substantial extent; or
(ii) which would render the values attributed to the current assets in the financial statements of
the Group and of the Company misleading; or

liabilities of the Group and of the Company misleading or inappropriate.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Mazars, Chartered Accountants, have expressed their willingness to continue in office.
We have audited the financial statements of United Bintang Berhad, which comprise the statements
of financial position as at 31 December 2011 of the Group and of the Company, and the statements
of comprehensive income, statements of changes in equity and statements of 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 41 to 71.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of these financial statements that
give a true and fair view in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the Companies Act
1965 in Malaysia, and 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 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 Company’s preparation
of the 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 Company’s 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 have been properly drawn up in accordance with Financial
Reporting Standards and the Companies Act 1965 in Malaysia so as to give a true and fair view of the
financial position of the Group and of the Company as of 31 December 2011 and of their financial
performance and cash flows for the year then ended.
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 subsidiary company have been properly kept in accordance with the
provisions of the Act.
(b) We are satisfied that the financial statements of the subsidiary company that have been
consolidated with the Company’s 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 these purposes.
(c) Our audit report on the financial statements of the subsidiary company did not contain any
qualification or any adverse comment made under Section 174(3) of the Act.
The supplementary information set out in Note 28 to the Financial Statements is disclosed to meet
the requirement of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad and is not part of the financial statements. The
directors are responsible for the preparation of the supplementary information in accordance with
Guidance on Special Matter No. 1, Determination of Realised and Unrealised Profits or Losses in the
Context of Disclosure Pursuant to Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad Listing Requirements, as issued by
the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (“MIA Guidance”) and the directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities
Berhad.
In our opinion, the supplementary information is prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with
the MIA Guidance and the directive of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
Other Matters
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

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
Statement of compliance
The financial statements comply with applicable approved Financial Reporting Standards
(“FRSs”), issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (“MASB”) and with the provisions
of the Companies Act, 1965.
The significant accounting policies adopted by the Group and the Company are consistent
with those of the previous financial year except for the adoption of the following new FRSs,
Amendments to FRSs and Issues Committee Interpretations (“IC Interpretation”), that are relevant
to the operations of the Group and of the Company, effective from financial periods beginning
on or after:

Amendments to FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement
The initial application of the above FRSs, Amendments to FRSs and IC Interpretation, are not
expected to have any material impact on the financial statements of the Group and of the
Company except for the following:
FRS 3 (revised in 2010) incorporates the following changes that are likely to be relevant to the
Group’s operations:
• The definition of a business has been broadened which is likely to result in more acquisitions
being treated as business combinations.
• Contingent consideration will be measured at fair value with subsequent changes therein
recognised in profit or loss.
• Transaction costs, other than share and debt issue costs, will be expensed as incurred.
• Any pre-existing interest in the acquiree will be measured at fair value with the gain or loss
recognised in profit or loss.
• Any non-controlling interest will be measured at either fair value, or at its proportionate interest
in the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree, on transaction-by-transaction basis.
• The amendments to FRS 127 require changes in group composition to be accounted for as
equity transactions between the group and its non-controlling interest holders.
• The amendments to FRS 127 require all losses attributable to non-controlling interest to be
absorbed by non-controlling interest i.e., the excess and any further losses exceeding the non-
controlling interest in the equity of a subsidiary company are no longer charged against the
group’s interest.
The changes in FRS 3 (revised in 2010) and FRS 127 (revised in 2010) will be applied prospectively
and therefore there will be no impact on prior periods in the Group’s consolidated financial
statements.
On 19 November 2011, the MASB issued a new MASB approved accounting framework, the
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS Framework).
The MFRS Framework is to be applied by all Entities Other Than Private Entities for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2012, with the exception of entities subject to the application of
MFRS 141 Agriculture (MFRS 141) and IC Interpretation 15 Agreements for Construction of Real
Estate (IC 15), including its parent, significant investor and venture.
The Group will be required to prepare its first MFRS financial statements for the financial year ending
31 December 2012. In presenting its first MFRS financial statements, the Group will be required
to restate the comparative financial statements to amounts reflecting the application of MFRS
Framework. The majority of the adjustments required on transition will be made, retrospectively,
against opening reserves.
The Group has not completed its assessment of the financial effects of the differences between
Financial Reporting Standards and accounting standards under the MFRS Framework. Accordingly,
the consolidated financial performance and financial position as disclosed in these financial
statements for the year ended 31 December 2011 could be different if prepared under the MFRS
Framework.
The Group considers that it is achieving its scheduled milestones and expects to be in a position
to fully comply with the requirements of the MFRS Framework for the financial year ending 31
December 2012.
Measurement basis
The measurement bases applied in the preparation of the financial statements of the Group and
of the Company include cost, recoverable value, realisable value and fair value as indicated in
the accounting policies set out below. Accounting estimates are used in measuring these values.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with FRSs 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 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 other than those disclosed in the following notes:
Allowance for slow-moving inventories is made based on the ageing and estimated net
realisable value of inventories. The assessment of the allowance amount involves judgement
and estimates. Where the actual outcome in future is different from the original estimate,
such difference will impact the carrying value of inventories and allowance charge/write-
back in the period in which such estimate has been changed.
The Group and the Company determine the estimated useful lives and related depreciation
charges for the Group’s and the Company’s property, plant and equipment. This estimate is
based on the historical experience of the actual useful lives of property, plant and equipment
of similar nature and functions. The Group and the Company will revise the depreciation
charges where useful lives are different from those previously estimated, or it will write-off or
write-down technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and
its subsidiary company made up to the end of the financial year. The consolidated financial
statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions in similar
circumstances.
All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealised income and unrealised losses are eliminated in
full on consolidation and the consolidated financial statements reflect external transactions only.
The subsidiary company is consolidated on the purchase method of accounting from the date of
acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continues to be consolidated
until the date that such control ceases.
Under the purchase method of accounting, the cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate
of the fair values of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued
at the date of exchange, plus any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed are measured at their fair values at the
acquisition date.
Goodwill on acquisition will be measured as the difference between the aggregate of fair value
of consideration transferred, any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value at the
acquisition date of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if acquired via “piecemeal
acquisition”), and the net identifiable assets acquired. Any bargain purchase (ie. “negative
goodwill”) will be recognised directly in the profit or loss.
Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiaries that are not attributable, directly or
indirectly, to equity holders of the Company. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-
controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit position.
Change in ownership interest which does not result in a loss of control is accounted for within
equity. Where the changes in ownership interest results in loss of control, any remaining interest in
the former subsidiary is remeasured at fair value and a gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss.
The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities, contingent
liabilities acquired is retained in the consolidated statement of financial position as goodwill, while
the shortfall is immediately credited to the consolidated profit or loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any.
Goodwill is tested for impairment, annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying values may be impaired.
A subsidiary company is an entity controlled by the Company. Control exists when the
Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies
of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The existence and effect of potential
voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible, are considered when assessing
whether the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of
another entity.
Foreign currency
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which an entity
operates.
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company are presented in Ringgit Malaysia
(“RM”) which is also the functional currency of the Group and of the Company.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (“foreign currencies”) are
translated to the functional currency at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the
transaction.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated at
foreign exchange rates ruling at that date.
Non-monetary items which are measured in terms of historical costs denominated in foreign
currencies are not retranslated.
Non-monetary items which are measured at fair values denominated in foreign currencies
are translated at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the date when the fair values were
determined.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and the translation of
monetary items are included in the profit or loss for the period.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
impairment losses, if any.
The cost of property, plant and equipment includes expenditure that is directly attributable
to the acquisition of an asset.
Property, plant and equipment are derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from their use or disposal. On disposal, the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is recognised in the profit or loss.
The cost of replacing part 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 part will flow to the Group and the Company, and its cost can be measured
reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part 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 calculated to write off the depreciable amount of property, plant and
equipment on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.
• Buildings 2%
• Motor vehicles 10%
• Fixtures and fittings 8% - 10%
• Office equipment 10% - 25%
• Workshop tools 8% - 14%
The useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each
reporting date.
Assets acquired under hire purchase are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the
same basis as owned assets.
Investment properties
Investment properties are properties which are owned or held under a leasehold interest to earn
rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of
business, use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value with any
change therein recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost comprises the landed costs of inventories purchased and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition.
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.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only
when the Group or the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial
instruments.
Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs, except for the
financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair
value.
(a) Financial assets
Financial assets are classified into the following specified categories: financial assets at ‘fair
value through profit or loss’ (“FVTPL”), ‘held-to-maturity investments’, ‘available-for-sale
(“AFS”) financial assets’ and ‘loans and receivables’. The classification depends on the
nature and purpose of the financial assets and is determined at the time of initial recognition.
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is either held for trading
or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial asset is classified as held for trading if it has been acquired principally for
the purpose of selling it in the near term; or on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio
of identified financial instruments that the Group and the Company manage together
and has a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or it is a derivative that is not
designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
Financial assets at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on
remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss
incorporates any dividend or interest earned on the financial asset.
AFS financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated as available-for-sale
or are not classified as loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments or financial
assets at FVTPL. All AFS assets that have a quoted market price in an active market are
measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses arising from
changes in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated
in the investments revaluation reserve, with the exception of impairment losses and
interest calculated using the effective interest method.
AFS equity investments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and
whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less any identified
impairment losses at the end of the reporting period.
Loans and receivables that have fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted
in an active market are classified as ‘loan and receivables’. Loans and receivables are
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate, except for short-
term receivables when the recognition of interest would be immaterial.
The Group and the Company derecognise a financial asset only when the contractual
rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when they transfer the financial asset
and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
If the Group and the Company neither transfer nor retain substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the Group and the
Company recognise their retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for
amounts they may have to pay. If the Group and the Company retain substantially all
the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Group and the
Company continue to recognise the financial asset and also recognise a collateralised
borrowing for the proceeds received.
Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an
entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group and the
Company are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial liabilities are classified as either financial liabilities at ‘FVTPL’ or other ‘financial
liabilities’.
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when the financial liability is either held for
trading or it is designated as at FVTPL.
A financial liability is classified as held for trading if it has been acquired principally for the
purpose of repurchasing it in the near term; or on initial recognition it is part of a portfolio
of identified financial instruments that the Group and the Company manage together
and have a recent actual pattern of short-term profit-taking; or it is a derivative that is not
designated and effective as a hedging instrument.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on
remeasurement recognised in profit or loss. The net gain or loss recognised in profit or loss
incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.
Other financial liabilities, including payables and borrowings, are initially measured at fair
value, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using
the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield
basis.
The Group and the Company derecognise financial liabilities when, and only when, the
Group’s and the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset
or financial liability and of allocating interest income or interest expense over the relevant
period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash
receipts or cash payments (including all transaction costs and other premiums or discounts)
through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability, or (where appropriate) a
shorter period, to the net of carrying amount on initial recognition.
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally
through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met
only when the sale is highly probable and the asset is available for immediate sale in its present
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the assets is brought up-
to-date in accordance with applicable FRSs. Then, on initial classification as held for sale, assets
(other than deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets, financial assets and inventories) are
measured in accordance with FRS 5 that is the lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost
to sell. Any differences are included in profit or loss.
Impairment
Receivables assessed not to be impaired individually are, in addition, assessed for impairment
on a collective basis. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could
include the Group’s and the Company’s past experience of collecting payments, an increase
in the number of delayed payments in the portfolio past the average credit period, as well
as observable changes in the national or global economic conditions that correlate with
default on receivables.
In respect of receivables carried at amortised cost, the amount of impairment loss recognised
is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated
future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for
all financial assets with the exception of trade receivables, where the carrying amount is
reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade receivable is considered
uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of
amounts previously written off are credited against the allowance account. Changes in the
carrying amount of the allowance account are recognised in profit or loss.
When an AFS financial asset is considered to be impaired, cumulative gains or losses previously
recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss in the period.
When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, impairment loss previously recognised in
profit or loss is not reversed through profit or loss. Any increase in fair value subsequent to an
impairment loss is recognised in other comprehensive income.
The carrying amounts of non-financial assets (except for assets arising from employee
benefits, investment property that is measured at fair value) are reviewed at the end of each
reporting period to determine whether there is any indication of impairment.
If any such indication exists, the asset’s 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 groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”).
Impairment (continued)
The recoverable amount of an assets or cash-generating units 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.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.
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 estimate used to determine the recoverable
amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. An impairment loss is reversed only to
the extent that the asset’s 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 year in which the reversals
are recognised.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group or the Company has a present obligation (legal or
constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will
be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
If it is no longer probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the
obligation, the provision is reversed.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre
tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used,
the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and
the Company and when the revenue can be measured reliably, on the following bases:
Leases
A lease is an agreement whereby the lessor conveys to the lessee in return for a payment or series
of payments the right to use an asset for an agreed period of time.
A finance lease is a lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of an asset. Title may or may not eventually be transferred.
Property, plant and equipment acquired by way of finance leases are stated at amounts
equal to the lower of their fair values and the present value of minimum lease payments at
the inception of the leases, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
In calculating the present value of the minimum lease payments, the discount rate is the
interest rate implicit in the lease, if this is determinable; if not, the Group incremental borrowing
rate is used.
Operating lease income or operating lease rentals are credited or charged to the profit or
loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Employee benefits
Salaries, allowances, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense
in the financial year in which the services are rendered by the employees of the Group and
the Company. Short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave
are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlements to
future compensated absences and short-term non-accumulating compensated absences
such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. Non-monetary benefits such as
medical care, housing and other staff related expenses are charged to the profit or loss as
and when incurred.
Employee termination benefits are recognised only either after an agreement is in place
with the appropriate employee representatives specifying the terms of redundancy or after
individual employees have been advised of the specific terms.
Borrowings costs
All interest and other costs incurred in connection with borrowings are expensed as incurred as
part of finance costs. Finance costs comprise interest paid and payable on borrowings. The interest
component of hire purchase payments is charged to the profit or loss over the hire purchase
periods so as to give a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining hire purchase liabilities.
Income tax
The income tax expense in the profit or loss represents the aggregate amount of current tax and
deferred tax included in the determination of profit or loss for the financial year. Current tax is
the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year and
is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of
the reporting period.
On the statement of financial position, a deferred tax liability is recognised for taxable temporary
differences while a deferred tax asset is recognised for deductible temporary differences and
unutilised tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in
future against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be utilised.
No deferred tax is recognised for temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of:
(i) goodwill, or
(ii) an asset or liability which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction,
affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on tax consequences that would follow
from the manner in which the asset or liability is expected to be recovered or settled, and based
on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply
to the period when the asset is realised or when the liability is settled.
Current tax and deferred tax are charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income if
the tax relates to items that are credited or charged, whether in the same or a different period,
directly to other comprehensive income.
The Group presents basic earnings per share data for its ordinary shares (EPS).
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to equity shareholders of the
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
The Group and the Company adopt the direct method in the preparation of the statements of
cash flows.
Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.

The average credit period on sale of heavy machinery is 30 to 90 days (2010: 30 to 90 days), while
the sale of used car is on cash basis. No interest is charged on trade receivables. The receivable is
denominated in Australian dollar (AUD). At reporting date, RM2,826,230 equivalent to AUD892,034
(2010: RM3,500,567 equivalent to AUD1,152,693) of the Group’s and of the Company’s total trade
receivables pertain to a receivable from an overseas consignee of heavy machineries.
Impairment loss in respect of trade receivables is recorded using an allowance account unless
the Group and the Company are satisfied that recovery of the amount is remote, in which case
the impairment loss is written off against trade receivable directly. Movement in allowance for

The Group segment information is prepared based on location of customers. Transactions between
segments are entered into in the normal course of business and are established on terms and
conditions that are not materially different from that obtainable in transactions with unrelated
parties. The effects of such inter-segmental transactions are eliminated on consolidation. The
Group’s Chief Executive Officer reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.
Performance is measured based on segment profit before tax, interest, depreciation and
amortisation, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Group’s
Chief Executive Officer, who is the Group’s chief operating decision maker. Segment profit is used
to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant

The operations of the Group are subject to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency
risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group has taken measures to minimise its
exposure to risk and/or costs associated with the financing, investing and operating activities.
Details of the significant accounting policies and methods adopted (including the criteria for
recognition, the bases of measurement, and the bases for recognition of income and expenses),
for each class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk related to its overseas operations.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated trade receivables are
disclosed in Note 7. These receivables are denominated in Australian dollar (AUD). The Group has
no other financial instruments denominated in foreign currency. The Group monitors its foreign
exchange exposure closely. The Group did not engage in any transactions involving financial
derivative instruments during the year.
If the exchange rate had been 5% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the
Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2011 would increase/decrease by RM143,510
(2010: RM180,973).
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk through the impact of rate changes on hire purchase
liabilities, secured bankers acceptance, bank overdraft and fixed deposits. The interest rates of
hire purchase liabilities, secured bankers acceptance, bank overdraft and fixed deposits are
disclosed in Notes 13 and 8, respectively.
If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant,
the Group’s profit for the year ended 31 December 2011 would increase/decrease by RM73,659
(2010: RM49,611). This is mainly attributable to the Group’s exposure to interest rates on its variable
rate for fixed deposits and borrowings.
Credit risk
The Group trades mainly with certain key customers and is exposed to significant credit risk
from these trade receivables. The Group and the Company manage this risk based on careful
evaluation of the customers’ credit history.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk in relation to its trade receivables and other receivables should
all its customers fail to perform their obligations as of 31 December 2011, is the carrying amount of
these receivables as disclosed in Note 7.
The Group places its fixed deposits with credit worthy institutions. The carrying amount of financial
assets in the financial statements, net of any provision of losses, represents the Group’s maximum
exposure to credit risk without taking into account the value of any collateral or other security
obtained.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations due
to shortage of funds. The Group’s exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the
maturities of financial assets and liabilities.
The Group practises prudent liquidity risk management to minimise the mismatch of financial
assets and liabilities and maintain sufficient credit facilities as disclosed in Note 13 for contingent
funding requirement of working capital.
The table below summaries the maturity profile of the Group’s and the Company’s liabilities at the
reporting date based on contractual repayment obligations.

The Group
The carrying amounts of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as
reported in the statements of financial position as of 31 December 2011 approximate their fair
values because of the short maturity terms.
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong
credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise shareholders
value. The capital structure of the Company as of the end of the reporting period comprises
issued capital.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in
economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may issue new shares,
adjust the dividend payment to shareholders or return capital to shareholders. The Group’s overall
strategy remains unchanged from 2010.
The debt-to-equity ratios at 31 December 2011 and at 31 December 2010 were as follows:

The financial statements of the Group and of the Company were authorised for issue by the
directors on 26 March 2012.
On 25 March 2010, Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia”) issued a directive to all listed
issuers pursuant to Paragraphs 2.06 and 2.23 of Bursa Malaysia Main Market Listing Requirements.
The directive requires all listed issuers to disclose the breakdown of the unappropriated profits or
accumulated losses as at the end of the reporting period, into realised and unrealised profits or
losses.
On 20 December 2010, Bursa Malaysia further issued guidance on the disclosure and the format
required. The breakdown on the accumulated losses of the Group and the Company as at the
reporting date, into realised and unrealised losses, pursuant to the directive, is as follows:

- Realised (34,897,445) (35,677,964) (36,590,363) (37,280,575)
- Unrealised - - - -
The determination of realised and unrealised profits or losses is based on the Guidance of
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 on 20 December 2010. A charge or credit to the profit or loss of
a legal entity is deemed realised when it is resulted from the consumption of resource of all types
and form, regardless of whether it is consumed through sale or use. Where a credit or charge to
the profit of loss upon initial recognition or subsequent measurement of an asset or a liability is not
attributed to consumption of resource, such credit or charge should not be deemed as realised
until the consumption of resource could be demonstrated.
The disclosure of realised and unrealised losses above is solely for complying with the disclosure
requirements stipulated in the directive of Bursa Malaysia and should not be applied for any other
purposes.
In the opinion of the directors, the financial statements set out on pages 35 to 71 are drawn up:
(a) so as to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and of the Company at 31
December 2011 and of the results and the financial performance for the year then ended; and
(b) in accordance with Financial Reporting Standards and the provisions of the Companies Act 1965,
in Malaysia.
The information set out in Note 28 to the Financial Statements has been compiled 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 Malaysia Institute of Accountants, and presented based on the format prescribed by Bursa
Malaysia Securities Berhad.
