Our Commitment
to Sustainable Development
Your Company and Sustainable Development
Shell Malaysia subscribes to the principle of sustainable development
that meets the needs of the present generation without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Being part
of Shell Malaysia, your Company subscribes to the same principle of
sustainable development. Our practices are aligned with the systematic
approach adopted by Royal Dutch Shell plc in their own efforts to
implement good health, safety and environmental management
practices. Our actions are guided by the need to make business decisions
that give credence to our sense of economic, social and environmental
responsibilities and by which our stakeholders and society can hold us
accountable.
to establish a long-term presence among the communities we operate
in. As such, we are committed to helping our stakeholders improve
their quality of life, whilst simultaneously contributing to Malaysia’s
advancement and its Vision 2020 goals.
As we journey towards achieving our aspirations, the methods by
which we bring our sustainable development practices into play will be
integral to our success. Our current stance is reflected in the following
practices:
•
We provide our customers with solutions and a variety of energy
products, materials and services, which meet their requirements
economically and which does not cause harm to the environment.
We have to ensure them that our activities, and their support for us,
do not lead to unsustainable social differences but create wealth,
which benefits society as a whole. We need to assure them that
there is a clear path for the future development of our industry,
which will benefit the next generation. With these assurances,
we will really be the company of first choice.
•
We build and maintain a culture of learning and innovation in
which employees can fulfil their potential whilst meeting the most
challenging targets - and have fun at the same time! It is a culture
where we encourage our leaders to inspire others through personal
example, and where the values of honesty, integrity, respect for
people, trust, openness, teamwork and professionalism, can
prosper.
In this day and age, sustainable development does not just involve
environmental preservation or social concern, it must also take into
account economic performance. By the same token, in order to sustain
a healthy bottom-line, we must exhibit strong environmental and social
performance.
Through our sustainable development policy, Shell Malaysia integrates
the economic, environmental and societal aspects of our business in
order to achieve sustained financial success, safeguard our environment
and develop our reputation as a partner and provider of first choice for
a wide range of audiences. Our audiences include our shareholders,
customers, employees and those with whom we do business, as well
as society and future generations - all of whom expect us to engage
with them, listen to them and evolve with them to meet their changing
expectations.
We aspire to be the “The Top Performing and Most Admired Refinery
in Asia”, by operating our businesses efficiently, responsibly and
profitably. As we aim for high standards of performance, we also aspire
We draw upon our companies’ strengths to meet the challenges of the
new millennium with a view to helping people build a better world.
We will therefore continue to invest in projects that exploit worldclass technology, research and development within the highest Health,
Safety, Security and Environment (“HSSE”) standards.

No Harm to People
Your Company is truly committed to pursue the goal of no harm to
people. This way we aim to have an HSSE performance we can be
proud of, earning the confidence of customers, shareholders and
society at large.
SAFETY IS OUR BUSINESS
Your Company has a systematic approach to HSSE management
designed to ensure compliance with the law and to achieve continuous
performance improvement. Achieving continuous improvement in our
safety performance, including making progress towards our goal of
zero fatalities requires both safe processes and a strong safety culture.
The overall HSSE performance in 2007 was outstanding with your
Company achieving seven million exposure hours without a Loss Time
Incident (LTI) on 13 June 2007. Previously, your company also achieved
six years without an LTI case on 22 May 2007.
There was one Total Recordable Case (“TRC”) for year 2007 bringing
the Total Recordable Case Frequency (“TRCF”) for the year to 0.73.
Altogether there were three first aid cases (FAC), one restricted work
case (also MTC) and five occupational illness incidents (OI).
Our continuous efforts to carry out health promotions to educate and
increase health awareness among employees and contractors, resulted
‘04

‘07
in a reduction in the number of First Aid cases from four in 2006 to
three in 2007.
In 2007, there was an improvement in our overall sickness absence rate
for staff compared to the preceding year. The Total Sickness Absence
(“TSA”) rate for 2007 was 1.37% compared to the previous year’s TSA
rate of 1.71%.
To monitor and assess our performance against certain set targets,
Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) are critical. For example one key
process safety KPI is Loss of Primary Containment (“LOPC”). In the
system for HSSE analysis and learning (“MARSHAL”) this has been
fully implemented. Programmes have also been put in place to enable
continued learning and corrective action plans.
Safe behaviour also depends on staff and contractors being trained and
becoming more competent. Safety competences are being addressed
as part of our broader ‘HSSE competencies programme’ to check that
everyone responsible for tasks with a significant HSSE risk has the
necessary training and skills. Online training to develop staff skills in
HSSE is continuous. Specific training is also provided for high risk areas,
for example in road safety. In line with continuous improvement efforts,
various HSSE campaigns were held in 2007 including the Safety Day
Campaign, Working at Heights Campaign and HSSE Week.

Diversity and Inclusiveness
Diversity means all the ways we differ. It includes visible differences such
as age, gender, ethnicity and physical appearance; as well as underlying
differences such as religion, nationality and education.
Inclusiveness means a workplace where differences are valued; where
everyone has the opportunity to develop skills and talents consistent
with our values and business objectives. The aim is to create an
organisation where people feel involved, respected, connected - where
the richness of ideas, backgrounds and perspectives are harnessed to
create business value.
Our acceptance of diversity and inclusiveness means that your Company
today has a diverse and multi-talented workforce comprising over 300
employees of five nationalities, of which 89% are male and 11%
female. In the Management team, the male composition is 67% whilst
the female composition is 33%.
THE SHELL GROUP DIVERSITY VISION
“A recognised leader in Diversity and Inclusion”.
The Group will benefit from Diversity and Inclusion through

need to build awareness, knowledge and understanding to develop
the necessary skills, as well as practice behaviour that is conducive to
changing attitudes and driving organisational change.
D&I WEEK
Your Company is committed to bringing about the organisational
change needed to deliver our Vision.
D&I Week 2007 was launched on 12 November at your Company’s

Shell’s experiences with our employees and provide them a better
understanding of D&I at the workplace. During the week, staff were
given the opportunity to participate in learning activities to build a
more inclusive workplace.
EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Your Company believes that to promote development and best use
of employee’s talents, there is a need to create an inclusive work
environment where every employee has an equal opportunity to
develop his or her skills and talents.
Continued success of your Company requires investment in people
development. This is to ensure that our employee’s have the right skills
to do their job and meet the needs of the business. A continual learning

Statement on Internal Control
INTRODUCTION
Fit-for-purpose risk responses are primarily intended to:
The Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad
•
(Paragraph 15.27(b)) require the Directors to make a statement in the
Company’s annual report about the state of its internal controls. The
Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (as revised in 2007) further
requires the Board of Directors to ensure that a sound system of internal
controls is maintained to safeguard shareholders’ investment and the
Company’s assets. In pursuance thereof and in accordance with a
desire to adhere to the highest standard of corporate governance, your
Board is pleased to set out below its Statement on Internal Control
that was prepared in accordance with Bursa Malaysia’s Statement on
Internal Control - Guidance for Directors of Public Listed Companies.
Your Board believes the practice of good corporate governance is an
important continuous process.
RESPONSIBILITY
Your Board recognises that good corporate governance has its roots
in sound internal controls and a robust risk management programme.
Your Board affirms its overall responsibility for reviewing the adequacy
and the integrity of your Company’s internal control systems and
management information systems, including systems for compliance
with applicable laws, regulations, rules, directives and guidelines.
Your Board and the Management have ensured that your Company’s
system of internal controls is able to manage the risks to which
your Company is exposed. The objective is not to eliminate risk but
to understand your Company’s significant risks, set boundaries for
risk taking and apply fit-for-purpose risk responses that enable your
Company to achieve its corporate objectives within a managed risk
profile.
Minimise the likelihood of a risk occurring by actively managing the
sources of the risk
•
Mitigate the impact of a risk, often through the application of
some form of alert that the risk has materialised, followed by the
initiation of a contingency or recovery plan to reduce the potential
consequences
Your Board and the Audit Committee are informed of all control
issues pertaining to internal controls and regulatory compliance. It is
imperative to note that any system of internal control can only provide
reasonable, and not absolute, assurance against material misstatement
or loss.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Your Board regards risk management as an integral part of the
business operations. The Company has adopted the Shell Group Risk
Management Manual issued in 2006, and has in place an ongoing
process for identifying, evaluating and managing significant risks
that affect the achievement of your Company’s business objectives.
The changes to your Company’s risk profile, the risk responses and
assurances are documented in the Assurance Plan. The Assurance Plan
is the basis of the risk-based Audit Plans developed for your Company.
The risk profile of your Company is established during risk management
sessions undertaken by the Management, which identifies the
significant risks that your Company is facing. The risk responses and
internal controls that the Directors and Management have taken and or
are taking are documented in the Assurance Plan and Risk Register.

DIRECTORS’ BENEFITS
During and at the end of the year, no arrangements subsisted to which the Company is a party, being arrangements with the object or objects of enabling
Directors of the Company to acquire benefits by means of the acquisition of shares in, or debentures of, the Company or any other body corporate except
for options over shares granted by the Royal Dutch Shell plc to eligible senior executives including certain Directors of the Company.
Long-term incentives
Following the unification of Shell Transport and Trading Company, plc and Royal Dutch Petroleum Company (N.V. Koninklijke Nederlandsche Petroleum
Maatschappij ) in 2005, the share option grants was discontinued and in its place, an amended Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) was introduced. For a selected
number of the most senior executives, restricted non-conditional shares were also awarded. The purpose of the changes was to ensure a closer link between
the remuneration of Directors and executives and the performance of the Royal Dutch Shell plc relative to its peers.

Awards will have a face value between zero and two times base award. Awards are subject to performance over a period of at least three years. The shares are
only released if the performance condition is met and if the participant remains in employment during the performance period (subject to certain exceptions,
including retirement). From 2005 onwards, the number of shares that the directors receive will depend on the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance
of Royal Dutch Shell plc relative to the other major integrated oil companies.
The actual number of shares the Directors will receive in 2008 will depend on the Royal Dutch Shell plc’s TSR performance over the period 2005 to 2007.
The face value of the conditional performance share award is the number of shares as referred to in Directors’ Long-term Incentive Interest below multiplied
by the share price at the time of the award.
DIRECTORS’ LONG-TERM INCENTIVE INTEREST
Since the end of the previous financial year, no Director of the Company has received or become entitled to receive any benefit (other than benefits disclosed
as Directors’ remuneration in Note 10 to the financial statements) by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related corporation with the Director
or with a firm of which he is a member, or with a company in which he has a substantial financial interest.
The tables below show the LTIP and the share options interest of the Directors in office during 2007. Following the unification, those awards and grants
which were made with respect to Royal Dutch Petroleum Company and Shell Transport and Trading Company, plc shares, have been converted into Royal
Dutch Shell plc share entitlements at the appropriate conversion rates. Other than consequential changes, the terms and conditions applicable to these
awards and grants have generally not been altered as a result of this conversion.

Before the income statement and balance sheet were made out, the Directors took reasonable steps:
(a)
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 all known bad debts had been written off and that adequate allowance had been made for doubtful debts; and
(b)
to ensure that any current assets, other than debts, which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of business their values as shown in the
accounting records of the Company had 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:
(a)
which would render the amounts written off for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the financial statements of the
Company inadequate to any substantial extent; or
(b) which would render the values attributed to current assets in the financial statements of the Company misleading; or
(c)
which have arisen which render adherence to the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company misleading or inappropriate.
No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve months after the end of the year
which, in the opinion of the Directors, will or may substantially affect the ability of the Company to meet its obligations when they fall due.
At the date of this report, there does not exist:
(a)
any charge on the assets of the Company which has arisen since the end of the year which secures the liability of any other person; or
(b)
any contingent liability of the Company which has arisen since the end of the year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Unless otherwise stated, the following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to
the financial statements.
A B A S I S O F P R E PA R AT I O N
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 1965 and Financial Reporting
Standards, the MASB Approved Accounting Standards in Malaysia for Entities Other than Private Entities.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except as disclosed in this summary of significant accounting
policies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Financial Reporting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. It also requires Directors to exercise their judgment in
the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. Although these estimates and judgment are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of
current events and actions, actual results may differ.
(a) Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are applicable to the Company and are effective.
(i)
The new accounting standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards effective for the Company’s
financial year ended 31 December 2007 and applicable to the Company is FRS 124 Related Party Disclosures.
(ii)
The Company has adopted a change in accounting policy to recognise standalone derivative financial instruments at fair value at
inception in the financial statements with subsequent changes being recognised in the income statement. Changes in the fair value
of any of these derivative financial instruments are recognised immediately in the income statement within ‘finance cost’. Previously,
derivatives comprising foreign exchange forward contracts entered into were not recognised in the financial statements on inception.
Exchange gains and losses on contracts are recognised when settled at which time they were included in the measurement of the
transactions hedged.
The change in accounting policy has no impact to prior years financial statements as there were no derivative financial instruments
existing at balance sheet date for both financial years 2005 and 2006.
The change in accounting policy has been made in accordance with the transition provisions in the respective standards, amendments to
published standards and interpretations. All standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Company require retrospective
application.
82
summary of significant accounting policies
A B A S I S O F P R E PA R AT I O N ( C O N T I N U E D )
(b)
Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable to the Company
but not yet effective
The new and revised standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations that are applicable to the Company, but which the
Company has not early adopted, are as follows:
• FRS 107 Cash Flow Statements
• FRS 118 Revenue
• FRS 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets
These revised standards (effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2007) have no significant changes compared to the
original standards. The Company will apply these standards from financial periods beginning on 1 January 2008.
FRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (effective date yet to be determined by the Malaysian Accounting Standards
Board). This new standard establishes principles for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy
and sell non-financial items. Hedge accounting is permitted only under strict circumstances. The Company will apply this standard when
effective. The Company has applied the transitional provision in FRS 139 which exempts entities from disclosing the possible impact arising
from the initial application of this standard on the financial statements of the Company.
B REVENUE RECOGNITION
(i)
Revenue
Revenue represents the invoiced value of refined and partially refined oil products and feedstocks, net of Government taxes.
Revenue is recognised upon delivery of products and acceptance by customers.
(ii)
Other income
Other income comprises mainly of capital and operating expenditure recoveries from related companies and interest income, which are
recognised on an accrual basis.
C P R O P E R T Y, P L A N T A N D E Q U I P M E N T
All property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost.
Land and buildings are subsequently shown at fair value which is based on a professional valuation in 1990 using the open market value basis for
land, and depreciated replacement cost method for land improvements and building. The land and buildings of the Company have not been revalued
since the last valuation exercise as the Directors have not adopted a policy of regular revaluations of such assets.
Accordingly, the valuation of the revalued assets has not been updated and they continue to be stated at their last revalued amounts less depreciation
as allowed under the transitional provisions issued by the Malaysian Accounting Standards Board (‘MASB’). Surpluses arising on revaluation are credited
to revaluation reserve. Any deficit arising from revaluation is charged against the revaluation reserve to the extent of a previous surplus held in the
revaluation reserve for the same asset. In all other cases, a decrease in carrying amount is charged to income statement. On disposal of revalued
assets, amounts in revaluation reserve relating to those assets are transferred to retained earnings.
83
C P R O P E R T Y, P L A N T A N D E Q U I P M E N T ( C O N T I N U E D )
All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical costs less accumulated depreciation.
(i)
No depreciation is provided for freehold land and work-in-progress.
(ii) All other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight line basis calculated to write off their costs, or their revalued amounts,
over their estimated useful lives at the following annual rates:
Land improvements and buildings
2.5% – 5.0%
Plant, machinery, equipment and vehicles
3.3% – 25.0%
Furniture and fittings
7.0% – 20.0%
At each balance sheet date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. When an indication of impairment exists, the
carrying amount of the asset is assessed and written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Please refer to accounting policy (P) on impairment
of assets.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amounts and are included in the income statement. On disposal
of revalued assets, amounts in revaluation reserve relating to those assets are transferred to retained earnings.
D MAINTENANCE COSTS
Asset replacement costs incurred by the Company for major scheduled maintenance of the refinery are capitalised as part of the refinery assets and
depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, typically the period until the next major scheduled maintenance.
E BORROWINGS
Borrowings are initially recognised based on the proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at
amortised cost using the effective yield method; any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised
in the income statement over the period of the borrowings.
Interest, losses and gains relating to a financial instrument, or a component part, classified as a liability is reported within finance cost in the income
statement.
Interest incurred on external borrowings related to assets under construction is capitalised until the assets are ready for their intended use.
F INVENTORIES
(i)
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value using the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method.
(ii)
Cost in the case of partially refined oil and finished products includes oil, direct materials, labour and an appropriate proportion of fixed and
variable manufacturing overheads.
(iii) Net realisable value is the estimate of selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the cost of completion and selling expenses.
84
G R E C E I VA B L E S
Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable value. Bad debts are written off during the year in which they are identified. An estimate is made for
doubtful debts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end.
H PROVISIONS
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, when it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
I TA X AT I O N
(i)
Current taxation is based on chargeable profit for the year and represents income tax at current rates.
(ii)
Deferred taxation is recognised in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the amounts attributed to assets
and liabilities for tax purposes and their carrying amounts in the financial statements.
(iii)
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary
differences or unused tax losses can be utilised.
(iv)
Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are
expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.
J FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The basis of accounting for foreign currency transactions is as follows:
(i)
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia, which is the Company’s functional
and presentation currency.
(ii)
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the prevailing exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement.
Exchange differences arising from the settlement of foreign currency transactions and from the translation of foreign currency monetary assets
and liabilities are included in the income statement.
The principal closing rates used in translation of foreign currency amounts are as follows:
Foreign currency 2007
2006
1 USD
RM 3.31
RM 3.53
1 EURO
RM 4.87
RM 4.64
1 GBP
RM 6.61
RM 6.92
85
K EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
(i)
Short term employee benefits
Wages, salaries, paid annual leave, sick leave, bonuses and non-monetary benefits are accrued in the period in which the associated services
are rendered by employees of the Company.
L (ii)
Post-employment benefits
Contributions to the Employees’ Provident Fund, which is a defined contribution plan, are charged to the income statement when incurred.
LEASES
Leases in which 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.
All other leases are classified as operating leases and are not recognised on the balance sheet. All lease rentals payable are accounted for on a
straightline basis over the lease term and included in ‘other operating expenses’.
Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and where title is not expected to pass to the lessee by the end of the lease term is
treated as an operating lease. The payment made on entering into or acquiring a leasehold land is accounted for as prepaid land lease payments at
the balance sheet date. In the case of a lease of land and buildings, the prepaid lease payments are allocated, whenever necessary, between the land
element and the buildings element of the lease at the inception of the lease in proportion to their relative fair value. The prepaid lease payments are
amortised over the lease term in accordance with the pattern of benefits provided.
M C A S H A N D C A S H E Q U I VA L E N T S
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, bank balances, deposits with licensed banks, bank overdrafts and short term, highly liquid investments
that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value. Bank overdrafts are included
within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.
N DIVIDENDS
Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as liabilities when declared before the balance sheet date. A dividend declared after the balance sheet
date, but before the financial statements are authorised for issue, is not recognised as a liability at the balance sheet date. Upon the dividend becoming
payable, it will be accounted for as a liability.
86
O FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to both a financial asset of one enterprise and a financial liability or equity instrument of another
enterprise.
A financial asset is any asset that is cash, a contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset from another enterprise, a contractual right
to exchange financial instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially favourable, or an equity instrument of another
enterprise.
A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another financial asset to another enterprise, or to exchange financial
instruments with another enterprise under conditions that are potentially unfavourable.
Financial instruments carried on the balance sheet include cash and bank balances, investments, receivables, payables, leases and borrowings. The
particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual policy statements associated with each item.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company uses standalone derivatives in the management of interest rate and foreign currency risk. These derivative contracts are recognised at
fair value on inception. Changes in the fair value of any of these derivative instruments are recognised immediately in the income statement within
‘finance cost’.
The Company may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge foreign currency exposures as a result of confirmed receipts or payments
in foreign currency. These instruments are recognised in the financial statements on inception.
The fair value of cross currency interest rate swap which is not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques based on
assumptions of market conditions existing at the balance sheet date, including reference to quoted market prices and independent dealer quotes for
similar securities and discounted cash flow methods.
P I M PA I R M E N T O F A S S E T S
Property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets are reviewed for impairment losses whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset net selling price and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment,
assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is separately identifiable cash flows.
The impairment loss is charged to the income statement unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is charged to the revaluation surplus.
Any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in the income statement unless it reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset in
which case it is taken to revaluation surplus.
87
Q C R I T I C A L A C C O U N T I N G E S T I M AT E S A N D A S S U M P T I O N S
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, rarely equal the related
actual results. To enhance the information content of the estimates, certain key variables that are anticipated to have material impact to the Company’s
results and financial position are tested for sensitivity to changes in the underlying parameters. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant
risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below.
(i)
Assessment of Assets Useful Lives and Residual Value
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over its useful life taking into account residual value, where appropriate. The actual useful
lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In reassessing asset useful lives,
factors such as technological innovation and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues
such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
(ii) Fair value of derivatives and other financial instruments
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Company uses
its judgment to select a variety of methods and make assumptions that are mainly based on market conditions existing at each balance sheet
date. The Company uses discounted cash flow analysis for various financial assets/liabilities that are not traded in active markets.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES
The Company is exposed to a variety of financial risks, including foreign currency exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity and cash flow
risk. The Company’s overall financial risk management objective is to ensure the Company creates value for its shareholders. The Company focuses on
the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company. Financial risk

Treasury Policy and Procedures.
The Company may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the exposure to foreign currency risks in receivables and payables. In
addition, financial instruments such as trade receivables, trade payables, short term and long term borrowings arise directly from the Company’s
operations. Straightforward derivative financial instruments are utilised by the Company to manage the exposure to foreign currency and interest
rate risks. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
(i)
Foreign currency exchange risk
The objectives of the Company’s currency risk management policies are to allow the Company to effectively manage exposures that may arise
from operating activities. The Company is exposed to currency risk as a result of the foreign currency transactions entered into in currencies
other than its functional currency. The Company may enter into foreign exchange swaps and forward contracts to limit its exposure on foreign
currency receivables and payables and on cash flows generated from anticipated transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Swaps are
contractual agreements between two parties to exchange exposures in foreign currency. The Company uses cross currency interest rate swaps
to hedge its long-term borrowings in order to minimise its exposures to movements in foreign currency positions.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(ii)
Interest rate risk
The Company finances its operations through a mixture of retained earnings and bank borrowings. The interest rate risk arising from
bank borrowings are managed in compliance with the treasury policy of the Company.
(iii)
Credit risk
Credit risk arises when sales are made on deferred credit terms. The Company controls credit risk by setting counterparty limits and ensuring
that sales of products are made only to approved customers with an appropriate credit history. It is the Company’s policy to monitor the
financial standing of the customers on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Company is exposed to minimal credit risk.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with a number of creditworthy financial institutions.
(iv)
Liquidity and cash flow risk
The Company ensures that cash is available to meet working capital expenditure and other financing requirements, and that cash flows are
managed efficiently. This is done through reliable cash forecasts to achieve optimal cash management planning. The Company sets a minimum
level of cash to be held on a daily basis and on a planned level for the next 12 months, in order to meet both firm commitments and forecast
obligations. In addition, the Company maintains an adequate amount of short-term credit facilities.
As the Company has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Company’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of
changes in market interest rates. The Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk arises from long-term foreign currency borrowings.
The Company’s policy is to maintain its borrowings at variable rates denominated in its Company’s functional currency and manage foreign
exchange exposures arising from all known material foreign currency commitments as and when they arise.

Trade receivables are denominated in Ringgit Malaysia. The credit terms range between 15 to 30 days (2006: 15 to 30 days). The Company controls
credit risk by setting counter party limits and ensuring sales of products are made to customers with appropriate credit history. Due to these factors,
management believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts allowed for collection losses is inherent in the Company’s trade receivables.

BORROWINGS
The Company obtained a USD330,000,000 loan to finance a capital expenditure project in 1997. The original term loan carried interest at rates which
varies according to prevailing SIBOR+0.315%. The repayment of the loan commenced on 15 September 2000 in sixteen quarterly instalments of
USD20,000,000 and a final repayment of USD10,000,000 on 15 September 2004. Starting from 15 December 2001, the repayment of the loan was
revised to nineteen quarterly instalments of USD6,000,000 and a final repayment of USD116,000,000 on 15 September 2006. The interest rate for the
revised period was SIBOR+0.4%. A second revision was done with effect from 15 June 2005 where the repayment of the loan was revised to twenty
quarterly interest repayment and one final repayment of USD140,000,000 after five years. The interest rate for the revised period is SIBOR+0.16%.

The reduction of the long-term borrowing is due to the appreciation of RM against USD in 2007. The carrying amount of the USD140,000,000 term
loan at the balance sheet date approximated its fair value as it is a floating rate financial liability.
Cross currency interest rate swap (‘CCIRS’)
The Company entered into a cross currency interest rate swap to hedge against the fluctuations in the USD/RM exchange rate on its USD140 million
term loan from 16 February 2007 to 15 June 2010 upon which the Company will pay RM in exchange for receiving USD at a pre-determined exchange
rate of RM3.51 to USD1.00 as at the CCIRS execution date and will pay KLIBOR-0.65% (Kuala Lumpur Interbank Offer Rate) in exchange for receiving
SIBOR+0.16% (Singapore Interbank Offer Rate) on the outstanding principal amounts. The interest exchange occurs quarterly in accordance with the
scheduled repayment of interest on the USD140 million term loan.
The applicable interest rate of the Company’s term loan ranged from 3.42% to 5.86% per annum (2006: 5.19% to 5.61% per annum). After
executing the swap, the Company’s effective interest rate at balance sheet date was 3.81% per annum (2006: Nil).

2 5 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
(a)
In December 1996, employees were given the option of either remaining in the Shell Malaysia Retirement Benefit Fund (‘SMRBF’) or transferring
to a defined contribution scheme (‘DCS’). In conjunction with this, certain assets of the SMRBF were transferred to the Shell Malaysia Provident
Fund (‘SMPF’). The transfers were effective 1 May 1997. Arising from the transfer of assets from the SMRBF to the SMPF, the Company has
provided guarantees to members in relation to:
(i)
the capital sum transferred;
(ii)
a minimum return of 2.5% per annum on that capital sum; and
(iii)
death in service benefits.
The Company, as a Member Company of the SMPF, has supported the resolution of the Founding Company that the SMPF shall come to an
end on 31 December 2003 (‘Closure Date’) and for members’ balances in SMPF as at Closure Date be transferred to the Employees’ Provident
Fund. With this transfer, the Company no longer provides guarantees to members in relation to item (i) and (ii). Death in service benefits for
the ex-SMRBF members will continue to be guaranteed by the Company.
Based on the information currently available, it is not possible to estimate the likely outcome of the liabilities with regards to death in service
benefits as the liabilities are dependent on individual circumstances.
(b) The Company is a member of two oil spill funds, namely the Contract Regarding a Supplement to Tanker Liability for Oil Pollution (CRISTAL)
Fund and the International Oil Pollution Compensation (IOPC) 1992 Fund. The purpose of the Funds are to help compensate parties that suffer
financial loss as a result of oil spill from tankers. The members make contributions to the Funds depending on specific global oil spill incidents
which give rise to payments of compensation by the Funds. As at the date of this report, there are no material claims outstanding.

The presentation and classification of items in the current year’s financial statements are consistent with the previous financial year except as disclosed
below.
The reclassification of prior year comparative did not affect the recognition and measurement of the Company’s net assets. Expenses previously included
in operating expenses of RM47,751,000 are now presented within cost of sales and expenses previously included under administrative expenses of
RM4,588,000 are now presented within cost of sales for the cumulative year. Net exchange gain on the long term borrowings of RM34,030,000
previously under other operating expenses is now presented within finance cost.
The Directors are of the opinion that this classification better reflects the operating activities of the Company.
