Pantech Group turned the year in on 28 February 2013 with a record increase of 46.3% or RM201.06 million in revenue, from RM434.60 million to RM635.66 million. And, net profit rose correspondingly to RM56.06 million, up 63.8% or RM21.84 million from the RM34.22 million recorded in the previous financial year. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT cont’d The strengthening of our core capability as shared in our Annual Report last year, in particular in Manufacturing has proven to be a most opportune and strategic move. The UK-based Nautic Group which we acquired in March 2012 has contributed significantly to the Group revenue. We are happy to note that revenue from the increased total manufacturing output which involve carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloy and copper nickel pipes and fittings, is double of the revenue recorded in the last financial year. Of the highly positive income for our FY2013, the Manufacturing Division contributed RM250.92 million or about 39.5% of the total Group revenue. product presence in South America in particular Colombia and Brazil, bringing to a total of 59 countries worldwide which are now using our products. Contributions from our Trading Division was also up at RM384.74 million, an increase of approximately 24.8% and accounting for 60.5% of the Group revenue. This 40:60 revenue contribution ratio for Manufacturing Division and Trading Division met the target ratio set earlier. As manufacturing capacity grows, we have set a target to achieve a 50:50 Manufacturing and Trading contribution ratio by 2015. As we optimise the manufacturing capacity at Nautic Group, the need to expand arose. To this end, we are investing in an approximate 55,000 square feet of land with an existing factory lot, located just 5 minutes walk away from the current factory in Tamworth, United Kingdom. This factory lot acquired at a purchase consideration of GBP1.24 million will serve as a base for both production and warehouse to augment the current capacity. This expansion will increase the Nautic land size by 50% to an approximate total land area of 101,450 square feet. The oil and gas sector continues to be our prime market and we are confident that contributions from the oil and gas sector to the Group revenue will remain strong as it continues to be the leading choice of fuel for the world. Closer to home, the new oil and gas discoveries off the shores of Malaysia and the on-going investments are expected to intensify capital investment in this sector. This augurs well for Pantech Group. Malaysia remained our key revenue contributor at 60% of Group revenue. This is slightly lower than the 66% recorded in FY2012. However, quantum-wise, it is still a substantial contribution of RM381 million and is in line with the Group’s expectation as the Pantech brand is already well-established in the local market here. We are pleased to report that revenue generated from countries other than Malaysia has increased to 40% from the previous year of 34%. This is mainly because Pantech Group has managed to stretch into new countries through the Nautic Group. We now have Nautic Group has not only enlarged our manufacturing capability and capacity; it has also enlarged our product range and market footprint. The merger process has been smooth and it now operates seamlessly under the Pantech Group. We have chosen to retain the Nautic brand as it is already established amongst its customer base. Nautic Group has been performing and contributed positively to the Group with a revenue of RM46 million in FY2013. With the increased capacity, we are also able to expand the product range. At the time of acquisition, Nautic Group was producing mainly copper-nickel fittings and flanges. Nautic have been certified by Lloyd’s Register to manufacture products to NORSOK M650 standard for its nickel alloy fittings. Developed by the Norwegian petroleum industry, the NORSOK standards ensure adequate safety, value adding and cost effectiveness for oil and gas industries by providing a set of qualification requirement to verify that the manufacturer has sufficient competence and experience to meet the oil and gas acceptable practices. We are pleased to update that Nautic Steel facilities was verified to have meet the requirement. Plans are now afoot to add to the production list, nickel alloy items such as duplex and super duplex which are experiencing growing demands. 7 8 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT cont’d The efforts at Nautic Group will strengthen our positioning as a One-Stop Pipes, Valves and Fittings (PVF) Solution Provider as well as our track record. Being a One-Stop Centre for PVFs has worked in our favour, enabling Pantech Group to tap deeper into our markets and compete advantageously in tenders. With an inventory that stands at 28,000 product items valued at RM259.2 million as at FYE 28 February 2013, we are able to deliver on-demand basis. We are not constrained by factory production lead-time. And this is a reputation that Pantech Group will continue pursue. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The investment that the Group pumped into the new plant for Pantech Stainless & Alloy Industries Sdn Bhd (PSA) turned black in the last quarter of FY2013. Production capacity at this factory is at 14,400 metric tonnes per annum. Although there is ongoing anti-dumping suit on welded stainless steel pipes from Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand brought on by the International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce of the United States of America, we anticipated its impact to be minimal should the suit follows through as we have begun mitigation activities. Our corporate governance statement and reports are on pages 21 to 27. Pantech Group is also investing into a piece of 7-acre land adjacent to the 26-acre holding we have in Zone 12B in Pasir Gudang Industrial Estate. This total of 33 acres in one location will provide us the land bank for future expansion at the same address. Utilisation of the 26-acre portion is progressing well with the building of the 60,000 square feet Corporate Office expected to complete soon. We are targeting to operate from one address for operations, production, warehouse and management in Q4 this year. Having weathered the internal learning curve and the changing dynamics of the world economy including the ongoing delicate Eurozone, Pantech Group has come out stronger, learning along the way. We have continued to deliver higher revenue at the end of each financial year. While we are confident that the demand for our products and services will continue as oil and gas market burgeons, we are not resting on our laurels. To continue to enhance our preferred vendor status, we are constantly raising our own benchmark of standards, quality and service. Growth is not an option. We are always on the lookout for opportunities and do not rule out acquisitions of good value companies. We hold ourselves accountable for the continuous profitability of Pantech Group that it may in turn, enable us to share the wealth with our loyal shareholders. Pantech Group has paid out RM17.03 million in three single tier dividends in October 2012 and, January and April 2013. And we believe loyalty should be acknowledged. Should our loyal shareholders approve, a final single tier dividend of 1.2 sen per ordinary share of RM0.20 each amounting to approximately RM6.14 million for the financial year 28 February 2013 will be paid out, bringing the total dividend payout to RM23.18 million or 41% of our total net profit for FY2013. The Group has been profitable for 26 years now. We celebrated our 25th year milestone last year. Throughout the years, Pantech is and has always been dedicated to providing and promoting a business of trust, reliability and integrity through our products and services. Ethics and principles are upheld in our dealings, as with respect for society. We will work hard to always embody these values as the Group progresses and grows. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As I undertake this report each year of our 7 years as a public listed company, I am extremely cognizant of the stark fact that Pantech Group will not be bearing such fruits as you see today without the commitment and loyalty of my directors, management and staff. The relentless support of our business partners and stakeholders are also major contribution factors to the Group’s success. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to all who have believed and continue to believe in the Pantech story, and this includes all our valued loyal shareholders. We will continue to communicate in a transparent manner and on this note, I am very pleased to inform that our Executive Director Adrian Tan was named Best CEO for IR - Small Cap at the Malaysian Investor Relations Awards 2013 recently. A business without customers is no business at all. For this, I must note that Pantech Group is very privileged to be serving a large and diverse group of customers, of whom some have been with us since the beginning. We hope to continue this relationship long into the future. And it is future that continues to look bright for Pantech in line with the performance of the oil and gas sector as demand for energy remains unabated. The global demand continues to grow and the oil and gas industry searches for new sources. The combination of the knowledge and established experience of Nautic Group in the niche marine oil and gas sector together with Pantech Group’s own, we are in a good position as now increasingly, oil and gas are found in challenging areas such as deep waters. We are confident Pantech Group will continue to maintain our market position as the one-stop Pipes, Valves and Fittings (PVF) Solution Provider. DATO’ CHEW TING LENG (JIMMY) Executive Chairman Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS For the financial period under review of 1 March 2012 to 28 February 2013, Pantech Group has notched some significant achievements which affirmed the Group strategy of expanding manufacturing to drive sustainable growth. From the improved segmental revenue contribution from manufacturing arising from higher manufacturing capacity and output, the contribution from newly acquired Nautic Group to diversification of niche products production, the signs point to a smoother path ahead barring unforeseen circumstances. FINANCIAL Revenue contribution from our manufacturing division doubled from RM126.44 million last financial year to RM250.92 million. Revenue recognition from Nautic Group was immediate and this was reflected in the increased manufacturing contribution. The transition and merging of Nautic into Pantech Group was smooth and we managed to retain key personnel, resulting in a manufacturing revenue contribution of 18% from Nautic Group. In Malaysia, both Pantech Steel Industries Sdn. Bhd. (PSI) and Pantech Stainless & Alloy Industries Sdn. Bhd. (PSA) which are manufacturing entities increased their operations and sales activities. Along with this, the revenue contributions were also higher at 54% and 28% for FY2013 for PSI and PSA respectively. PSA is also fast building up its reputation and brand among customers in country and overseas. This was seen from the doubling of its sales from FY2012 to FY2013. With tight cost control by the management while increasing output of stainless steel pipes and fittings, PSA broke even in 4Q FY2013. Revenue contributions from our trading division was also up at RM384.74 million, an increase of approximately 25%. This higher revenue came mainly from improved sales demand from the oil and gas sector with on-going and new projects in Malaysia. Overall, the RM635.66 million group revenue registered was also translated to higher profit. The Group profit margin picked up, from 10.86% Profit Before Tax (PBT) margin in FYE2012 to 12.63% PBT margin in this financial year. The strengthening of our manufacturing capabilities was accompanied by tighter supply chain and operation monitoring, resulting in better cost control. Although cost rose with the larger operations scale and sales activities at PSI and PSA, we were able to offset it by selling more high value and niche market items such as long bends that have a better margin. Likewise, Nautic Group has good profitability due to its niche products. Increased efficiency and consistent cost control produced a cost of business that is comparable to the previous year while giving a 25% increase in sales. This enabled a higher conversion of sales to profit for the trading division. As a Group, Pantech aims for Operational Excellence where cost of business and operations remains highly efficient and only cost of goods sold increase in tandem with sales. To attain this, we are monitoring closely the process and manpower productivity. By achieving Operational Excellence, we will be able to turn increased revenue to better profit increment. The gearing level of the Group has increased from 0.58 as at FYE 29 February 2012 to 0.68 as at FYE 28 February 2013, which is still a relatively low level. The slightly higher gearing is partly attributable to the financing of the expansion and acquisition of Nautic, as well as higher working capital required for increased inventory and sales level. Pantech continuously builds comprehensive ranges of products within our inventory and this has been our edge as we are able to fulfill short sales-to-delivery turnaround time. The monies raised through ICULS in early 2011 have been fully utilised in this financial year according to plan; they were put to good use as working capital and for manufacturing capacity expansion and acquisition of Nautic Group. Pantech Group monitors our current and expected liquidity requirement and constantly exercises financial prudence to maintain the appropriate cash level. Healthy working capital and cash flow is one of the foci of our financial management; it will enable us to capitalise on opportunities that arise and to weather any setback that may arise from economic downturn. This was demonstrated when Pantech Group acquired the Nautic Group in United Kingdom in March last year. The management will continue to exercise prudent capital management to ensure that the Group is always nimble and able to move swiftly in on market opportunities. The dividends paid out so far amounted to 3.40 sen per ordinary share. These dividends were paid out in 3 tiers throughout our financial year: - On 26 July 2012, we announced an interim dividend of 1.00 sen for every RM0.20 ordinary share and this was paid on 23 October 2012. - The second interim dividend of 1.20 sen for every RM0.20 ordinary share was announced on 17 October 2012 and the payout was on 16 January 2013. - The third interim dividend of 1.20 sen for every RM0.20 ordinary share was announced on 22 January 2013. This dividend was paid on 17 April 2013. 9 10 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS cont’d Pantech Group has also proposed a single-tier final dividend of 1.20 sen per ordinary share, which is subject to shareholders’ approval at the Seventh Annual General Meeting on 29 August 2013. Upon approval, the total dividend for FY2013 is 4.60 sen per ordinary share and the total payout is at approximately 41% of the Group’s net profit or RM23.18 million. Pantech Group is now concentrating on enlarging our footprint within these countries and growing deeper roots to build firm market presence. To this end and closer to home, in the Southeast Asian region, Pantech Group is making firmer inroads into the Indonesian market in particular via PSI and PSA. In FY2013, sales/orders increased and we see encouraging signs in this neighbouring country. CAPACITIES AND MANUFACTURING Pantech Group now has a combined manufacturing capacity of almost 33,000 metric tonnes in Malaysia and GBP12 million in United Kingdom. The PSI plant in Klang is running full steam at 18,500 metric tonnes capacity per annum, 1,500 metric tonnes more than last year’s 17,000 metric tonnes. It produces carbon steel fittings mainly for markets outside Malaysia and high frequency induction long bends for Malaysian market. However, word about the good quality of long bends produced by PSI has spread and we are now receiving more orders from overseas. PSA with a capacity of 14,400 metric tonnes per annum on single shift, is churning out stainless steel pipes and fittings. We have started producing 16-inch pipes and are able to provide a more complete range of stainless steel products for local and export markets. At the same time, production of fittings of sizes up to 12 inches also commenced. This is in addition to the production of fittings up to 8 inches that started last financial year. We now have a more complete range of stainless steel pipes and fittings ready at hand, in stock and we anticipate better contribution from PSA next year. We are rebalancing the production ratio towards a higher output of stainless steel fittings which command higher margins as they are value-added items. The acquisition of Nautic Group is the first merger and acquisition for Pantech Group. Extra efforts were put in to ensure a smooth transition of acquisition and technology sharing. The hard work bore good fruits as Nautic managed to retain key management staff and continues to deliver revenue and profit, post acquisition. Pantech value added the acquisition by channeling resources to improve processes, modernise machineries and equipment, enhance range and quality of stocks so as to shorten delivery time. Plans are afoot to increase the capacity of Nautic, investment has been committed into a factory lot and new machineries. MARKET The acquisition of Nautic Group expanded Pantech’s market reach by 36 countries, bringing it to a total of 59 countries in which Pantech’s products are being used in. Another identified growth area for Pantech Group now lies in Latin America, where we already have established presence with Petrobras, the 7th biggest energy company in the world and the largest company in the Southern Hemisphere by market capitalization. More than USD300 billion is expected to be invested in the Brazilian oil and gas sector over the next 10 years; and through our track record and the wider range of products that we now offer, we believe that we are able to enlarge our footprint in this market and grow with its potential. Beyond just the product presence in these eminent oil and gas corporations, we take heart that products from Pantech Group have met the stringent requirements set by the companies. We believe it will help open doors to more similar entities in the future. Continuous marketing of our products and services is an important pillar in our business. To be present and visible in the core sector that we serve, we participated in several oil and gas exhibitions. Being amongst notable industry players also provided us the opportunity to be updated and gain invaluable insights on the oil and gas industry. On this note, we are pleased to mention that Pantech products are used in almost all the top oil and gas producing countries in the world, and participating in conferences and exhibitions enables us to network and touch base with our existing and potential customers. In the financial year under review, Pantech Group participated 5 key exhibitions: - Tube Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany on 26 - 30 March 2012 - Malaysian Services Exhibition @ Project Qatar 2012 in Doha, Qatar on 30 April - 3 May 2012 - 3rd Asian Subsea Conference and Exhibition (SUBSEA ASIA) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 3 5 October 2012 - International Oil and Gas Symposium 2012 (IOGS 2012) in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor, Malaysia on 7 - 8 November 2012 - 18th International Oil and Gas Exhibition and Conference (OSEA) in Marina Bay Sands, Singapore on 27 - 30 November 2012 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 MANAGEMENT REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS cont’d STREAMLINING OPERATIONS Aggressive growth can only be achieved and maintained when it is supported by well-administered and streamlined management. Pantech Group’s plans to consolidate administration and management, production and warehousing onto one site is well underway. The construction of the new Corporate Head office in Zone 12B in Pasir Gudang where PSA factory and new warehousing facilities are already located, is progressing well. The management anticipates to move into the office in Q3 FY2014. All 26 acres of the land that Pantech Group holds in Zone 12B have been utilised as we streamline into a single address for our operations down South. OUTLOOK AND CHALLENGES As a group in which both our trading and manufacturing divisions deal with the supply of pipes, valves and fittings that form the fluid transmission solutions in particular for the oil and gas industry, our outlook is tied closely to the fortune of the very sector that we serve. The future outlook of the oil and gas industries continues to be bright as demand grows. Regionally, we see that the demand for energy will continue to rise as society advances through the improvement of technology, and the rapid pace of economic expansion especially in Southeast Asia. Globally, the Pipeline and Gas Journal’s 2013 survey indicated that 116,837 miles of pipelines are planned and under construction worldwide. Of these, 83,806 represent projects in the planning design phase. We believe that Pantech will be able to get a few miles of these new developments. Pantech also aims to benefit from the Petronas fiveyear, RM300 billion capital expenditure, and its RM60 billion Rapid (Refinery and Petrochemicals Integrated Development) project of 6,300 acres in Pengerang, Johor. With the new government in place, we anticipate the investment by the oil and gas sector to maintain momentum even though the current progress at Rapid is slow in moving. We are regularly faced with new challenges as the Group expands and grows. With the experience of PSA, we now have the experience of managing raw material prices in particular the materials used for stainless steel and nickel alloy products. Overcoming one challenge, we are presented with another - the minimum wage for laborers policy comes into effect this year and will eat into profits. It is not a cost easily passed on to customers. Quality talents and retaining talents is another challenge. In a growing economy like Malaysia, talents are spoilt for choice in employment opportunities and the loyalty are more often than not, driven by monetary rewards. Businesses are faced with paying high emolument packages that do not necessarily commensurate with experience. With the uncertainties of the world economy, political situations and other challenges faced, Pantech Group has performed better than expected in the last financial year. The coming years will be a test of the Group strategy. We strongly believe our combination of technical knowledge, expertise, ability, reputation and track record gives us the edge in an increasingly competitive market. We will continue to plough on energetically and are confident that our hard work will be rewarded. 11 12 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACTIVITIES People are at the very heart of Pantech’s CSR undertaking. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has always been part of the Group’s effort and we have seen the impact that it has had on our employees, communities and also our business. As the company expands and progresses forward, Pantech remains deeply committed to carrying out CSR activities by creating a positive workplace environment and by contributing to the communities in which we work and live in. People are at the very heart of Pantech’s CSR undertaking. Be it within the Group itself or the community, our CSR focus is very much about caring for people. As John C. Maxwell once said, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” WORKPLACE The wellbeing and morale of our staff are always a priority to us. In November 2012, the Group commemorated its 25th year anniversary with a joyous celebration with directors, key management and staff of Pantech. In addition to this special anniversary celebration, an annual dinner and family day was held in January 2013 where approximately 450 staffs and their family members were treated to a fun-filled night of good food, entertainment and games. Thoughts were also put in for children of staff clown shows and cultural performance were also part of the programme. Held at the Amansari Residence Resort in Johor, each staff went home with a lucky draw prize. Pantech believes that education holds the key to a brighter future and being well-equipped contributes towards getting a child excited especially on the first day of school. The “Back to School” programme which has been an annual effort since 2007 took place on 29 November 2012. This programme covers all Pantech staff in Malaysia - every staff of Pantech received Tesco Vouchers worth RM100 for each primary school-going child and RM120 for each secondary schoolgoing child. This care-for-staff programme is part of Pantech’s concern for its staff and is intended to lessen the education burden especially for items such as stationeries, school uniform and bag. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY ACTIVITIES cont’d COMMUNITY Caring for the community around us is fundamental to developing society. Extending a helping hand to organisations who care for our future generation, donations of RM3,000 each were presented to: i) Pusat Kebajikan Care Haven Bhd, a charitable organization that provides care and full-lodging services for less fortunate children. ii) Careheart Association Johor Bahru, an organization that provides services and care to the intellectually disabled young adults. iii) Tabung Pengurusan Darul Hanan, an organization owned by Johor Corporation that provides accommodation, education and care to orphans and the needy. The mind is more receptive when the stomach is not growling all the time. As such, Pantech helped put food on the table for 3 families where there were 12 children altogether and one of whom is a blind girl. Furniture and clothing were also donated to these families. While it is challenging for Pantech to employ dedicated talents for the company, our primary aim is to first retain the talents that we have. Our goal throughout the Group is to maintain a conducive, happy workplace which in turn will give rise to happy employees, and happy employees increase productivity. Giving the right benefits to our staff while creating the joy of working for a company that gives back to the society is the path Pantech has taken towards a sustainable future for our business. 13 14 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 CORPORATE EVENTS OGA 2013 (The 14th Asean Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Engineering Exhibition) 5 - 7 June 2013 Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, Malaysia Sabah Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition (SOGCE) 16 - 17 April 2013 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 CORPORATE EVENTS cont’d 18th International Oil & Gas Industry Exhibition & Conference 27 - 30 November 2012 3rd Asian Subsea Conference & Exhibition (SUBSEA ASIA) 3 - 5 October 2012 Malaysia Investor Relations Awards 2013 Best CEO for IR - Small Cap 15 16 Pannte Pan Pa ttec eech Gr GGroup rou ro rou oup Holdings Hold olldding ngss BBerhad ng erhhad ad (73 7333336 73 360 60 607-W 7-W) Pantech (733607-W) annual aann al re rreport eppor orrt 20 22013 013 01 013 annual AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT The primary objective of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in the effective discharge of its fiduciary responsibilities for corporate governance, financial reporting to shareholders and the public and the internal control.

This departs from the Recommendation 3.4 of the Code which stipulates that the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be held by different individuals and that the Chairman must be a Non-Executive member of the Board. However, the Board believes that for its current size, it is more expedient for the two roles to be held by the same person as long as there are pertinent checks and balance to ensure no one person in the Board has unfettered powers to make major decisions for the Company unilaterally. As such, the Board is of the view that the significant composition of NonExecutive Directors, which is close to the current Board’s size, provides for the relevant check and balance. The Executive Chairman is responsible for ensuring the adequacy and effectiveness of the Board’s governance process and acts as a facilitator at Board meetings to ensure all Directors participate and deliberated at all Board meetings and that no Board member dominates discussion. As the Group Managing Director, supported by fellow Executive Directors, he implements the Group’s strategies, policies and decision adopted by the Board and oversees the operations and business development of the Group. The Independent Non-Executive Directors bring objective and independent views, advice and judgment on interests, not only of the Group, but also of shareholders and stakeholders. Independent Non-Executive Directors are essential for protecting the interests of shareholders and can make significant contributions to the Company’s decision by giving rationale and fair view and to decide impartially. The Board recognizes the importance of establishing criteria on independence to be used in the annual assessment of its Independent Non-Executive Directors. Although the definition on independence according to the Listing Requirements of Bursa is used, the Board review and assess the independence of its independent directors annually based on their conduct, argue on the matters objectively and make decision rationally and other independence criteria to, inter-alia, include the nine (9)-year tenure for Independent Non-Executive Directors in its Board Charter. Procedures on the extension for Independent Non-Executive Directors to serve beyond the nine (9)-year limit will also be formalized in line with the Recommendation of the Code even though at the date of this Statement, all the Company’s Independent Non-Executive Directors have not reached the nine (9)-year limit. PRINCIPLE 4 – FOSTER COMMITMENT OF DIRECTORS The Board ordinarily meets at least four (4) times a year, scheduled well in advance before the end of the preceding financial year to facilitate the Directors in planning their meeting schedule for the year. Additional meetings are convened when urgent and important decisions need to be made between scheduled meetings. Board and Board Committee papers which are prepared by the Management, provide the relevant facts and analysis for the convenience of Directors. The meeting agenda, the relevant reports and Board papers are furnished to Directors and Board Committee members well before the meeting to allow the Directors sufficient time to peruse for effective discussion and decision making during meetings. At the quarterly Board meetings, the Board reviews the business performance of the Group and discusses major operational and financial issues. The Chairman of the Audit Committee informs the Directors at each Board meetings of any salient matters noted by the Audit Committee and which require the Board’s attention or direction. All pertinent issues discussed at Board meetings in arriving at the decisions and conclusions are properly recorded by the Company Secretary by way of minutes of meetings.

In addition, the Board recognizes the need to formalize a policy in its Board Charter, requiring Directors to notify the Chairman before accepting any new directorships notwithstanding that the Listing Requirements of Bursa allow a Director to sit on the boards of 5 listed issuers. Such notification is expected to include an indication of time that will be spent on the new appointment. Directors’ Training – Continuing Education Programmes The Board is mindful of the importance for its members to undergo continuous training to keep abreast with changes to regulatory requirements and the impact such regulatory requirements have on the Group.

The Directors continue to undergo relevant training programmes to further enhance their skills and knowledge in the discharge of their stewardship role. The Company Secretaries also update the Board Members on the relevant guidelines on statutory and regulatory requirements from time to time. 25 26 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT cont’d PRINCIPLE 5 – UPHOLD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING BY COMPANY It is the Board’s commitment to present a balanced and meaningful assessment of the Group’s financial performance and prospects at the end of each reporting period and financial year, primarily through the quarterly announcement of Group’s results to Bursa, the annual financial statements of the Group and Company as well as the Chairman’s statement and review of the Group’s operations in the Annual Report, where relevant.

The composition of the Audit Committee, including its roles and responsibilities, are set out in the Audit Committee Report of this Annual Report. One of the key responsibilities of the Audit Committee in its specific terms of reference is to ensure that the financial statements of the Group and Company comply with applicable financial reporting standards in Malaysia. Such financial statements comprise the quarterly financial report announced to Bursa and the annual statutory financial statements. As the Board understands its role in upholding the integrity of financial reporting by the Company, it will take steps to revise the Audit Committee’s terms of reference by formalizing a policy on the types of non-audit services permitted to be provided by the external auditors of the Company so as not to compromise their independence and objectivity, including the need for the Audit Committee’s approval in writing before such services can be provided by the external auditors. In assessing the independence of external auditors, the Audit Committee will in future require written assurance by the external auditors, confirming that they are, and have been, independent throughout the conduct of the audit engagement with the Company in accordance with the independence criteria set out by the International Federation of Accountants and the Malaysian Institute of Accountants.

BASIS OF PREPARATION cont’d 2.5 Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective cont’d The initial application of the above standards are not expected to have any financial impacts to the financial statements upon the first adoption, except for: MFRS 9 Financial Instruments MFRS 9 addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. It replaces the guidance in MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. MFRS 9 requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: fair value and amortised cost, determined at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. Most of the requirements for financial liabilities are retained, except for cases where the fair value option is taken, the part of a fair value change due to an entity’s own risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss, unless this creates an accounting mismatch. The adoption of MFRS 9 will result in a change in accounting policy. The Group is currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 9. MFRS 11 Joint Arrangements MFRS 11 supersedes the FRS 131 Interest in Joint Ventures. It aligns more closely the accounting by the investors with their rights and obligations relating to the joint arrangement. In addition, FRS 131’s option of using proportionate consolidation for joint ventures has been eliminated. MFRS 11 now requires the use of the equity accounting method, which is currently used for investment in associates. MFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement MFRS 13 does not affect which items are required to be fair-valued, but clarifies the definition of fair value and provides related guidance and enhance disclosures about fair value measurements. It replaces the existing fair value guidance in different MFRSs. The adoption of MFRS 13 will result in a change in accounting policy for the items measured at fair value in the financial statements. The Group is currently examining the financial impact of adopting MFRS 13. 2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements Estimates, assumptions concerning the future and judgements are made in the preparation of the financial statements. They affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosures made. They are assessed on an on-going basis and are based on experience and relevant factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates, and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results. 2.6.1 Estimation uncertainty Information about significant estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses are discussed below. Impairment of inventories The management reviews inventories to identify damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories which require judgement and changes in such estimates could result in revision to valuation of inventories. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION cont’d 2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements cont’d 2.6.1 Estimation uncertainty cont’d Useful lives of depreciable assets The management estimates the useful lives of the property, plant and equipment to be within 3 to 50 years and reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date. At 28 February 2013, the management assesses that the useful lives represent the expected utility of the assets to the Group. The carrying amounts are analysed in Note 4 to the Financial Statements. Actual results, however, may vary due to change in the expected level of usage and technological developments, which resulting the adjustment to the Group’s assets. Impairment of loans and receivables The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired. Factors such as probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the receivables and default or significant delay in payments are considered in determining whether there is objective evidence of impairment. Where there is objective evidence of impairment, the amount and timing of future cash flows are estimated based on historical loss experience for assets with similar credit risk characteristics. Impairment of property, plant and equipment and prepaid land lease payments The Group carries out impairment tests based on a variety of estimation including value-in-use of cash-generating unit to which the property, plant and equipment and prepaid land lease payments are allocated. Estimating the value-in-use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from cash-generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value of those cash flows. Income taxes/Deferred tax liabilities Significant judgement is involved in determining the Group-wide provision for income taxes. There are certain transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. The Group recognised tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome is different from the amounts that were initially recognised, such difference will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax losses, unabsorbed capital allowances and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which all the deductible temporary differences, unutilised tax losses and unabsorbed capital allowances can be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies. Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on management’s estimates of future cash flows. These depend on estimates of future production and sales volume, operating costs, capital expenditure, dividends and other capital management transactions. Judgement is also required about application of income tax legislation. These judgements and assumptions are subject to risks and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the statements of financial position and the amount of unrecognised tax losses and unrecognised temporary differences. 57 58 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION cont’d 2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements cont’d 2.6.1 Estimation uncertainty cont’d Employees share option The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for sharebased payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also require determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and model used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions, sensitivity analysis and the carrying amounts are disclosed in Note 39 to the Financial Statements. Fair value of financial instruments Management uses valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of financial instruments where active market quotes are not available. Details of the assumptions used are given in the notes regarding financial assets and liabilities. In applying the valuation techniques, management makes maximum use of market inputs, and uses estimates and assumptions that are, as far as possible, consistent with observable data that market participants would use in pricing the instrument. Where applicable data is not observable, management uses its best estimate about the assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates may vary from the actual prices that would be achieved in an arm’s length transaction at the end of the reporting period. Revaluation of property, plant and equipment The Group measures its land and buildings at revalued amount with changes in fair value being recognised in other comprehensive income. The Group engaged independent valuation specialists to determine fair values. The carrying amount of the land and buildings at the end of the reporting period, and the relevant revaluation bases, are disclosed in Note 4 to the financial statements. 2.6.2 Significant management judgement The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Group that have the most significant effect on the financial statements. Classification between investment properties and owner-occupied properties The Group determines whether a property qualifies as an investment property, and has developed criteria in making that judgement. Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Therefore, the Group considers whether a property generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by the Group. Some properties comprise a portion that is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation and another portion that is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. The Group accounts for the portions separately if the portions could be sold separately (or leased out separately under a finance lease). If the portions could not be sold separately, the property is an investment property only if an insignificant portion is held for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Judgement is made on an individual property basis to determine whether ancillary services are so significant that a property does not qualify as an investment property. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION cont’d 2.6 Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements cont’d 2.6.2 Significant management judgement cont’d Deferred tax assets The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can be utilised is based on the Group’s latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax loss or credit. The tax rules in the numerous jurisdictions in which the Group operates are also carefully taken into consideration. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred tax asset, especially when it can be utilised without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is usually recognised in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by management based on the specific facts and circumstances. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Group and the Company apply the significant accounting policies, as summarised below, consistently throughout all periods presented in the financial statements and in preparing their opening MFRS statements of financial position at 1 March 2011 (the transition date to MFRS framework), unless otherwise stated. 3.1 Consolidation 3.1.1 Subsidiary companies A subsidiary company is a company in which the Company or the Group has the power to exercise control over the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights that presently are exercisable are taken into account. Investment in subsidiary companies is stated at cost in the Company’s statement of financial position, unless the investment is held for sale or distribution. Upon the disposal of investment in a subsidiary company, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and its carrying amount is included in profit or loss. 3.1.2 Basis of consolidation The Group’s financial statements consolidate the audited financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiary companies, which have been prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiary companies have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. The financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary companies are all drawn up to the same reporting period. All intra-group balances, income and expenses and unrealised gains and losses resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated in full. Subsidiary companies are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control ceases. Changes in the Company owners’ ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary company. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to owners of the parent. 59 60 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.1 Consolidation cont’d 3.1.3 Business combinations and goodwill Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether it measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability will be recognised in accordance with MFRS 139 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it will not be remeasured. Subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. In instances where the contingent consideration does not fall within the scope of MFRS 139, it is measured in accordance with the appropriate MFRS. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. As part of its transition to MFRS framework, the Group elected not to restate those business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to MFRS. Goodwill arising from acquisitions before 1 March 2011 has been carried forward from the previous FRS framework as at the date of transition.

Any surplus or deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss. If the Group retains any interest in the previous subsidiary company, then such interest is measured at fair value at the date that control is lost. Subsequently it is accounted for as an equity accounted investee or as an available-for-sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained. 3.1.5 Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests at the end of the reporting period, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to the equity holders of the Company, are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position and statement of changes in equity within equity, separately from equity attributable to the owners of the Company. Non-controlling interests in the results of the Group is presented in the consolidated profit or loss and other comprehensive income as an allocation of the profit or loss and the comprehensive income for the year between noncontrolling interests and the owners of the Company. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if that results in a deficit balance. 3.1.6 Associate company An associate company is an entity in which the Group has significant influence, but no control, over its financial and operating policies. The Group’s investment in associate company is accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investment in an associate company is carried in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost plus post acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate company. Goodwill relating to the associate company is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortised nor individually tested for impairment. The share of the result of an associate company is reflected in profit or loss. This is the profit attributable to equity holders of the associate company and therefore is the profit after tax and noncontrolling interests in the associate company. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate company, the carrying amount of that interest including any long-term investment is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the associate company. Where there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of an associate company, the Group recognises its share of any changes and discloses this, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. The financial statements of the associate company are prepared as of the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of the associate company in line with those of the Group. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an additional impairment loss on the Group’s investment in its associate company. The Group determines at each end of the reporting period whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate company is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate company and their carrying value and recognise the amount in the “share of profit of associates” in profit or loss. 61 62 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.1 Consolidation cont’d 3.1.6 Associate company cont’d Upon loss of significant influence over an associate company, the Group measures and recognises any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate company upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss. In the Company’s separate financial statements, investment in associate company is stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investments, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amounts is included in profit or loss. 3.1.7 Joint venture The Group has an interest in a joint venture which is a jointly-controlled entity, whereby the venturers have a contractual arrangement that establishes joint control over the economic activities of the entity. The agreement requires unanimous agreement for financial and operating decisions among the venturers. The Group’s interests in jointly-controlled entities are accounted for in the Group’s financial statements using the equity method from the date the Group obtains joint control until the date the Group ceases to have joint control over the joint venture. The financial statements of the joint venture are prepared as of the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. In the Company’s statement of financial position, investment in jointly-controlled entity is stated at cost less impairment losses. On disposal of such investment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and their carrying amount is included in the profit or loss. 3.2 Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. Land and buildings are subsequently shown at market value, based on valuations by external valuers, less subsequent depreciation and any impairment losses. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Revaluation is made at least once in every five years based on valuation by an independent valuer on an open market value basis. Any revaluation increase is credited to equity as a revaluation surplus, except to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease for the same asset previously recognised as an expense, in which case, the increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent of the decrease previously recognised. A revaluation decrease is first offset against an increase on unutilised valuation surplus in respect of the same asset and is thereafter recognised as an expense. Upon the disposal of revalued assets, the attributable revaluation surplus remaining in the revaluation reserve is transferred to unappropriated profit. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method in order to write off the cost of each asset over its estimated useful life. No depreciation is provided on freehold land. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.2 Property, Plant and Equipment cont’d The principal annual depreciation rates used are as follows:Factory buildings Renovation, warehouse extension and electrical installation Computers and software Crane, plant and machinery Factory equipment Office equipments, furniture and fittings Telecommunication system, forklift and motor vehicles 2.00% - 5.50% 10.00% - 20.00% 20.00% - 33.33% 7.00% - 15.00% 10.00% - 25.00% 10.00% - 20.00% 15.00% - 25.00% Restoration cost relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is capitalised only if such expenditure is expected to increase the future benefits from the existing property, plant and equipment beyond its previously assessed standard of performance. Property, plant and equipment are written down to recoverable amount if, in the opinion of the Directors, it is less than their carrying value. Recoverable amount is the net selling price of the property, plant and equipment i.e. the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal. The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is included in profit or loss in the financial year in which the asset is derecognised. 3.3 Investment Properties Investment properties consist of land and buildings held for capital appreciation or rental purpose and not occupied by the Group or only an insignificant portion is occupied for use or in the operations of the Group. Investment properties are treated as long-term investments and are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of dayto-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the reporting date. Gain or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in profit or loss in the financial year in which they arise. Investment properties are derecognised when either they are disposed of or when they are permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss on the retirement or disposal of an investment property is recognised in profit or loss in the financial year of retirement or disposal. 3.4 Inventories Inventories comprises raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Inventories are determined on weighted average method. 63 64 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.4 Inventories cont’d Cost of raw materials refers to invoiced cost of goods purchased plus incidental handling and freight charges. Cost of work-in-progress and finished goods include raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and an appropriate proportion of manufacturing overheads. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less selling and distribution costs and all other estimated costs to completion. 3.5 Leases Accounting by lessees Finance leases Lease of property, plant and equipment acquired under hire purchase and finance lease arrangements which transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the Group are capitalised. The depreciation policy on these assets is similar to that of the Group’s property, plant and equipment depreciation policy. Outstanding obligation due under hire purchase and finance lease arrangements after deducting finance expenses are included as liabilities in the financial statements. Finance charges on hire purchase and finance lease arrangements are allocated to profit or loss over the period of the respective agreements. Operating leases Leased payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risk and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Leasehold land Leasehold land that normally has an indefinite economic life and title is not expected to pass to the Group by the end of the lease term is treated as operating lease. The payment made on entering into or acquiring a leasehold land is accounted for as prepaid land lease payment and is amortised over the respective lease term ranging from 60 to 88 years (29.2.2012: 60 to 88 years and 1.3.2011: 42 to 88 years). 3.6 Foreign Currency Translation The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in RM, which is also the parent company’s functional currency. 3.6.1 Foreign currency transactions and balances Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. All differences are taken to the profit or loss with the exception of all monetary items that forms part of a net investment in a foreign operation. These are recognised in other comprehensive income until the disposal of the net investment, at which time they are reclassified to profit or loss. Tax charges and credits attributable to exchange differences on those monetary items are also recorded in other comprehensive income. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.6 Foreign Currency Translation cont’d 3.6.1 Foreign currency transactions and balances cont’d Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. The gain or loss arising in translation of non-monetary items is recognised in line with the gain or loss of the item that gave rise to the translation difference (translation differences on items whose gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss is also recognised in other comprehensive income or profit or loss respectively). 3.6.2 Foreign operations The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into RM at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their profit or loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average rate over the reporting period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognised in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the profit or loss. Any goodwill arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation subsequent to 1 January 2011 and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. Prior to 1 March 2011, which is the date of transition to MFRS, the Group treated goodwill and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition as assets and liabilities of the parent. Therefore, those assets and liabilities are non-monetary items already expressed in the functional currency of the parent and no further translation differences occur. 3.7 Income Tax Income tax on profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax expense is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable profit for the financial year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are provided for under the liability method at the current tax rate in respect of all temporary differences at the reporting date between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statements of financial position and its tax base including unused tax losses and capital allowances. Deferred tax asset are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of a deferred tax asset is reviewed at each reporting date. If it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow the benefit of part or all of that deferred tax asset to be utilised, the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset will be reduced accordingly. When it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available, such reductions will be reversed to the extent of the taxable profit. Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. 65 66 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.7 Income Tax cont’d Value-added tax and goods services tax The Group’s sale of goods may subject to value-added tax (“VAT”) or goods services tax (“GST”) in accordance with rules applicable in the jurisdication where the Group operates. The net amount of such taxes recoverable from, or payable to the authority is included as part of “other receivables” or “other payables” in the statements of financial position. Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of taxes except:- 3.8 (i) where the taxes incurred on the purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the tax incurred is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable; and (ii) receivables and payables stated is inclusive of the tax elements. Impairment of Financial Assets The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence indicating that a financial asset is impaired. Trade and other receivables and other financial assets carried at amortised cost The Group considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments to determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred. For certain categories of financial assets, such as trade receivables, assets that are assessed not to be impaired individually are subsequently assessed for impairment on a collective basis based on similar risk characteristics. Objective evidence of impairment for a portfolio of receivables could include the Group’s past experience with industry group, increase in cases of delayed payments and observable changes in economic conditions. If such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as 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 and the loss is recognised in profit or loss. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets with the exception of trade and other receivables, where the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade and other receivable becomes uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss. Available-for-sale financial assets Significant or prolonged decline in fair value below cost, significant financial difficulties of the issuer or obligor, and the disappearance of an active trading market are considerations to determine whether there is objective evidence that investment securities classified as available-for-sale financial assets are impaired. If an available-for-sale financial asset is impaired, an amount comprising the difference between its cost (net of any principal payment and amortisation) and its current fair value, less any impairment loss previously recognised in profit or loss, is transferred from equity to profit or loss. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.8 Impairment of Financial Assets cont’d Available-for-sale financial assets cont’d Impairment losses on available-for-sale equity investments are not reversed in profit or loss in the subsequent periods. Increase in fair value, if any, subsequent to impairment loss is recognised in statement of comprehensive income. For available-for-sale debt investments, impairment losses are subsequently reversed in profit or loss if an increase in the fair value of the investment can be objectively related to an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in profit or loss. 3.9 Impairment of Non-financial Assets At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the recoverable amount is estimated and an impairment loss is recognised whenever the recoverable amount of the asset or a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount. Recoverable amount of an asset or a cashgenerating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to 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. Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in profit or loss in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in profit or loss immediately, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent of previously recognised revaluation surplus for the same asset. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount. That increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. All reversals of impairment losses are recognised as income immediately in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case, the reversal in excess of impairment loss previously recognised through profit or loss is treated as revaluation increase. After such a reversal, depreciation charge is adjusted in future periods to allocate the revised carrying amount of the asset, less any residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining useful life. 3.10 Financial Assets Financial assets are recognised in the statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and they are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. Financial assets are measured initially at fair value plus transactions costs, except for financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Financial assets are subsequently measured as described below. 67 68 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.10 Financial Assets cont’d For the purpose of subsequent measurement, financial assets other than those designated and effective as hedging instruments are classified into the following categories upon initial recognition:a) b) c) d) Loans and receivables Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Held to maturity investments Available-for-sale financial assets The category mentioned above determines subsequent measurement of a financial asset and whether any resulting income and expense is recognised in profit or loss or in statement of comprehensive income. All financial assets except for those at fair value through profit or loss are subject to review for impairment at least once at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired when there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria are applied to determine impairment for each category of financial assets, as described in Note 3.8. All income and expenses relating to financial assets are recognised in profit or loss. Other than loans and receivables and available-for-sale financial assets, the Group does not have financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and held-to-maturity investments. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and they are measured at amortised cost using effective interest method, less provision for impairment subsequently. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial in subsequent measurement. Cash and cash equivalents, amount due from an associate company, trade and most other receivables of the Group and of the Company fall into this category of financial instruments. Loans and receivables are classified as current assets and those that mature 12 months after the reporting date are classified as non-current. Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated to this category or do not qualify for inclusion in any of the other categories of financial assets. The Group’s available-for-sale financial assets include quoted equity instruments. Available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value subsequent to the initial recognition. Gains and losses are recognised in statement of comprehensive income and reported within the available-for-sale reserve within equity, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange differences on monetary assets, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the asset is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in statement of comprehensive income is reclassified from the equity reserve to profit or loss and presented as a reclassification adjustment within statement of comprehensive income. Interest calculated using the effective interest method and dividends are recognised in profit or loss. Dividends on an available-for-sale equity are recognised in profit or loss when the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Investment in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost less impairment loss. Available-for-sale financial assets are classified as non-current assets unless they are expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting date. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.11 Financial Liabilities Financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires. Financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value plus transactions costs, except for financial liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are measured initially at fair value. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method except for financial liabilities held for trading or designated at fair value through profit or loss, that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or loss. All derivative financial instruments which are not designated and effective as hedging instruments are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss. The Group’s financial liabilities include Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks, borrowings, finance lease creditors, amount due to a joint venture company, trade and other payables. 3.12 Revenue Recognition Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the goods are delivered, net of discount and return. Rental income is recognised when the rent is due. Interest income is accounted for on accrual basis. Dividend income is recognised when the Group’s right to receive payment is established. Insurance commission received is recognised on receivable basis. Sales and inter-company transactions between companies of the Group are excluded from revenue of the Group. 3.13 Interest-bearing Borrowings Interest-bearing borrowings are recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. However, borrowing costs incurred to finance the construction of property, plant and equipment are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the assets for its intended use. 3.14 Employee Benefits (a) Short term benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the financial year, in which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. 69 70 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.14 Employee Benefits cont’d (b) Defined contribution plans Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into separate entities or funds and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contribution if any of the funds do not hold sufficient assets to pay all employee benefits relating to employee services in the current and preceding financial years. Such contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss as incurred. As required by law, companies in Malaysia made such contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (“EPF”). Some of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries also made contributions to their respective countries’ statutory pension schemes. 3.15 Share-based Payment Transactions Share-based payment transactions of the Company Equity-settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based transactions are set out in Note 39 to the Financial Statements. The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits reserve. The policy described above is applied to all equity-settled share-based payment transactions that were granted after 31 December 2004 and vested after 1 January 2006. No amounts have been recognised in the consolidated financial statements in respect of other equity-settled shared-based payments. Equity-settled share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where that fair value cannot be estimated reliably, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service. For cash-settled share-based payments, a liability is recognised for the goods or services acquired, measured initially at the fair value of the liability. At the end of each reporting period until the liability is settled, and at the date of settlement, the fair value of the liability is remeasured, with any changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss for the year. Share-based payment transactions of the acquiree in a business combination When the share-based payment awards held by the employees of an acquiree (acquiree awards) are replaced by the Group’s share-based payment awards (replacement awards), both the acquiree awards and the replacement awards are measured in accordance with MFRS 2 Share-based Payment (“market-based measure”) at the acquisition date. The portion of the replacement awards that is included in measuring the consideration transferred in a business combination equals the market-based measure of the acquiree awards multiplied by the ratio of the portion of the vesting period completed to the greater of the total vesting period or the original vesting period of the acquiree award. The excess of the market-based measure of the replacement awards over the market-based measure of the acquiree awards included in measuring the consideration transferred is recognised as remuneration cost for post-combination service. Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.15 Share-based Payment Transactions cont’d Share-based payment transactions of the acquiree in a business combination cont’d However, when the acquiree awards expire as a consequence of a business combination and the Group replaces those awards when it does not have an obligation to do so, the replacement awards are measured at their market-based measure in accordance with MFRS 2. All of the market-based measure of the replacement awards is recognised as remuneration cost for post-combination service. At the acquisition date, when the outstanding equity-settled share-based payment transactions held by the employees of an acquiree are not exchanged by the Group for its share-based payment transactions, the acquiree share-based payment transactions are measured at their market-based measure at the acquisition date. If the share-based payment transactions have vested by the acquisition date, they are included as part of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree. However, if the share-based payment transactions have not vested by the acquisition date, the market-based measure of the unvested share-based payment transactions is allocated to the non-controlling interest in the acquiree based on the ratio of the portion of the vesting period completed to the greater of the total vesting period or the original vesting period of the share-based payment transaction. The balance is recognised as remuneration cost for post-combination service. 3.16 Dividends Final dividends proposed by the Directors are not accounted for in shareholders’ equity as an appropriation of unappropriated profit, until they have been approved by the shareholders in a general meeting. When these dividends have been approved by the shareholders and declared, they were recognised as a liability. Interim dividends are simultaneously proposed and declared, because the articles of association of the Company grant the Directors the authority to declare interim dividends. Consequently, interim dividends are recognised directly as a liability when they are proposed and declared. 3.17 Financial Guarantee Contracts A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due. Financial guarantee contracts are recognised initially as a liability at fair value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, financial guarantee contracts are recognised as income in profit or loss over the period of the guarantee. If the debtor fails to make payment relating to financial guarantee contract when it is due and the Group, as the issuer, is required to reimburse the holder for the associated loss, the liability is measured at the higher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date and the amount initially recognised less cumulative amortisation. 3.18 Provisions Provisions are recognised when there is a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, as a result of a past event, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses. Any reimbursement that the Group can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with respect to the obligation is recognised as a separate asset. However, this asset may not exceed the amount of the related provision. 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. Where 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 provisions due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. 71 72 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.19 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, bank balances, short term demand deposits and highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to known amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. For the purpose of the statements of financial position, cash and cash equivalents restricted to be used to settle a liability of 12 months or more after the reporting date are classified as non-current asset. 3.20 Segment Reporting In identifying its operating segments, management generally follows the Group’s internal reports regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision makers in order to allocate resources to the respective segments and to assess their performance. 3.21 Inter-segment Transfers Segment revenues, expenses and result include transfers between segments. The prices charged on intersegment transactions are based on negotiation basis. These transfers are eliminated on consolidation. 3.22 Equity and Reserves An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group and the Company after deducting all of their liabilities. Ordinary shares are equity instruments. Share capital represents the nominal value of shares that have been issued. Share premium includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any related income tax benefits. The revaluation reserve within equity comprises gains and losses due to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment. Foreign currency translation differences arising on the translation of the Group’s foreign entities are included in the exchange translation reserve. Gains and losses on certain financial instruments are included in reserves for available-for-sale financial assets and cash-flow hedges respectively. Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits. All transactions with owners of the Company are recorded separately within equity. 3.23 Treasury Shares When issued share of the Company are repurchased, the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs is presented as a change in equity. Repurchased shares that have not been cancelled are classify as treasury shares and presented as a deduction from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss on the sale, reissuance or cancellation of treasury shares. When treasury shares are distributed as share dividends, the cost of the treasury shares is applied in the reduction of the share premium account or distributable reserves, or both. When treasury shares are reissued by resale, the difference between the sale consideration net of directly attributable costs and the carrying amount of the treasury shares is shown as a movement in equity.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.24 Capital Work-in-progress Capital work-in-progress consists of building and plant and machinery under construction/installation for intended use as production facilities. The amount is stated at cost and includes capitalisation of interest incurred on borrowings related to property, plant and equipment under construction/installation until the property, plant and equipment are ready for their intended use. 3.25 Goodwill/Negative Goodwill Goodwill/(Negative goodwill) represents the excess/(deficit) of the cost of acquisition of subsidiary company acquired over the Group’s share of the fair values of their separable net assets at the date of acquisition. The goodwill is retained in the consolidated statement of financial position and subject to annual impairment review. The negative goodwill is credited immediately to profit or loss as it arises. 3.26 Contingent Liabilities A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed by the occurrences or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group. It can also be a present obligation arising from past events that is not recognised because it is not probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required or the amount of obligation cannot be measure reliably. 3.27 Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks (“ICULS”) The ICULS are regarded as compound financial instruments, consisting of a liability component and an equity component. At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the prevailing market interest rate available to the Company. The difference between the proceeds of issue of the ICULS and the fair value assigned to the liability component, representing the conversion option is accounted in the shareholders’ equity. The liability component is subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method until extinguished on conversion whilst the value of the equity component is not adjusted in subsequent periods except on exercise and conversion to ordinary shares. Under the effective interest rate method, the interest expense on the liability component is calculated by applying the prevailing market interest rate. The difference between this amount and the interest paid is added to the carrying value of the ICULS. 3.28 Warrants The free detachable warrants were issued pursuant to the ICULS of the Company. The issuance of ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants is treated as new subscription of ordinary shares for the consideration equivalent to the exercise price of the warrants. Upon exercise of warrants, the proceeds are credited to share capital and share premium. The warrants reserve in relation to the unexercised warrants at the expiry of the warrants will be transferred to share premium. 73 74 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.29 Earnings Per Share The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible notes and share options granted to employees. 3.30 Related Parties A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group. A related party transaction is a transfer of resources, services or obligations between the Group and its related party, regardless of whether a price is charged. (a) A person or a close member of that person’s family is related to the Group if that person: (i) (ii) (iii) (b) Has control or joint control over the Group; Has significant influence over the Group; or Is a member of the key management personnel of the Company, or the Group. An entity is related to the Group if any of the following conditions applies: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (vi) The entity and the Group are members of the same group. One entity is an associate or joint venture of the other entity. Both entities are joint ventures of the same third party. One entity is a joint venture of a third entity and the other entity is an associate of the third entity. The entity is a post-employment benefit plan for the benefits of employees of either the Group or an entity related to the Group. The entity is controlled or jointly-controlled by a person identified in (a) above. 3.31 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivatives designated as hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as follows:Derivative financial instruments The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency exposures. Forward foreign exchange contracts used are accounted for on an equivalent basis as the underlying assets, liabilities or net positions. Any profit or loss arising is recognised on the same basis as those arising from the related assets, liabilities or net position. Exchange gains or losses on contracts are recognised when settle at which time they are included in the measurement of the transaction hedged. The fair value of foreign currency forward contract is determined using the forward exchange market rates at the reporting date.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES cont’d 3.31 Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities cont’d Cash flow hedge A cash flow hedge is a hedge of exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and could affect the profit or loss. In a cash flow hedge, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised in other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequently, the cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity into profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedge forecast cash flows affect profit or loss. If the hedge item is a non-financial asset or liability, the associated gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is removed from equity and included in the initial amount of the asset or liability. However, loss recognised in other comprehensive income that will not be recovered in one or more future periods is reclassified from equity into profit or loss. Cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedge is no longer highly effective, the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur or the hedge designation is revoked. If the hedge is for a forecast transaction, the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument remains in other comprehensive income until the forecast transaction occurs. When the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, any related cumulative gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income on the hedging instrument is reclassified from equity to profit or loss. 3.32 Operating Segments An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenue and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available. 75 76 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - 28 February 2013 cont’d 4.

GOODWILL ON ACQUISITION cont’d Impairment tests for goodwill cont’d (b) Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a period of not more than two years. Key assumptions and management’s approach to determine the values assigned to each key assumption are as follows:(i) Budgeted gross margin The basis used to determine the value assigned to the budgeted gross margin is the average gross margins achieved in the year immediately before the budgeted year and revised for expected demand of their products. (ii) Growth rate The average growth rates used are based on management’s estimate of average growth rate based on the past and current trends of the industry. (iii) Discount rate The discount rate used is pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant business operations. The Directors believe that any reasonably possible changes in the above key assumptions applied are not likely to materially cause the recoverable amount to be lower than its carrying amount except for the changes in prevailing operating environment which is not ascertainable. 13.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Risk management objectives and policies The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Group’s financial assets and liabilities by category are summarised in Note 3.10 and 3.11. The main types of risks are foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Financial risk management policy is established to ensure that adequate resources are available for the development of the Group’s businesses whilst managing its foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group operates within clearly defined policies and procedures that are approved by the Board of Directors to ensure the effectiveness of the risk management process. (a) Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk mostly on its sales and purchases that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the Group. The currencies giving rise to this risk are primarily US Dollar (“USD”), Singapore Dollar (“SGD”), Great Britain Pound Sterling (“GBP”) and EURO (“EURO”). The Group uses forward exchange contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk and forward exchange contracts have maturities of less than one year from the reporting date. Where necessary, the forward exchange contracts are rolled over at maturity.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS cont’d Risk management objectives and policies cont’d (a) Foreign currency risk cont’d Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The following table illustrates the sensitivity of profit in regards to the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities and the RM/USD exchange rate, RM/SGD exchange rate, RM/GBP exchange rate and RM/EURO exchange rate with ‘all other things are being equal’. It assumes a +/- 3% (29.2.2012 and 1.3.2011: 3%) change of the RM/USD, RM/SGD, RM/GBP and RM/ EURO exchange rates respectively. The percentage has been determined based on the average market volatility in exchange rates in the previous 12 months. The sensitivity analysis is based on the Group’s foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting date and also takes into account forward exchange contracts that offset effects from changes in currency exchange rates. If the RM had strengthened against the USD, SGD, GBP and EURO by 3% respectively, this would have the following impact:Increase/(Decrease) on profit for the financial year Group USD SGD GBP EURO Total RM RM RM RM RM 28 February 2013 300,338 (94,619) 42,331 15,072 263,122 29 February 2012 283,225 (15,989) 2,723 (25,497) 244,462 1 March 2011 171,603 (12,874) 3,320 274 162,323 USD SGD GBP EURO Total RM RM RM RM RM 28 February 2013 - - 296,147 - 296,147 29 February 2012 - - 1,562 - 1,562 1 March 2011 - - - - - Company If the RM had weakened against the USD, SGD, GBP and EURO by 3% respectively, then the impact to profit for the financial year would be the opposite effect. Exposures to foreign exchange rates vary during the financial year depending on the volume of overseas transactions. Nonetheless, the analysis above is considered to be representative of the Group’s exposures to foreign currency risk. (b) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of the Group’s financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s fixed rate borrowings are exposed to a risk of change in their fair value due to changes in interest rates. The Group’s variable rate borrowings are exposed to the risk of change in cash flows due to changes in interest rates. Investment in equity securities and short term receivables and payables are not significantly exposed to interest rate risk.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers in various industries and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates, the management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired to be good. The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents and short term placements is considered negligible, since the counterparties are reputable banks with high quality external credit ratings. (d) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk arising from the Group and the Company not being able to meet their obligations due to shortage of funds.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities of the Group and of the Company at the reporting date approximate their fair values due to their short term nature or insignificant impact of discounting. The following summarises the methods used in determining the fair value of financial instruments:(a) Investments in equity securities The fair value of financial assets that are quoted in an active market are determined by reference to their quoted closing bid price at the end of the reporting period. (b) Derivatives The fair value of forward contract is calculated by reference to current forward exchange rates for contracts with similar maturity profile. (c) Non-derivatives financial liabilities Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the end of the reporting period. In respect of the liability component of convertible notes, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar liabilities that do not have a conversion option. For finance leases, the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar lease agreements. The interest rate used to discount estimated cash flows, when applicable, are as follows:28.2.2013 29.2.2012 1.3.2011 % % % Bank overdrafts 7.35 – 7.60 7.30 – 7.60 6.80 – 7.30 Bankers’ acceptance 3.27 – 4.18 3.03 – 4.54 2.21 – 4.45 Onshore foreign currency loans 1.45 – 2.55 1.08 – 2.85 1.30 – 2.15 Revolving credits 4.73 – 4.85 4.60 – 4.85 4.31 – 4.53 Term loans 3.39 – 7.20 4.14 – 7.85 3.39 – 7.55 Trust receipts 2.40 – 6.25 6.25 6.25 Finance lease creditors 2.38 – 4.09 2.33 – 4.10 2.33 – 4.25 7.00 7.00 7.00 Irredeemable Convertible Unsecured Loan Stocks Fair value hierarchy The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable.

By order of the Board LIM SECK WAH (MAICSA 0799845) LIANG SIEW CHING (MAICSA 7000168) Company Secretaries Kuala Lumpur Dated this: 6 August 2013 137 138 Pantech Group Holdings Berhad (733607-W) annual report 2013 NOTICE OF SEVENTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING cont’d Notes A. The item 1 of the Agenda is meant for discussion only as it does not require a formal approval of the shareholders and hence, is not put forward for voting. 1. For the purpose of determining a member who shall be entitled to attend, speak and vote at the AGM, the Company shall be requesting the Record of Depositors as at 23 August 2013. Only a depositor whose name appears on the Record of Depositors as at 23 August 2013 shall be entitled to attend the said meeting or appoint proxies to attend, speak and vote on his/her behalf. 2. A member entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote in his/her stead. A member may appoint up to two (2) proxies to attend the same meeting provided that he/she specifies the proportion of his/her shareholding to be represented by each proxy. A proxy may but need not be a member of the Company and a member may appoint any person to be his/her proxy without limitation and the provisions of Section 149(1)(a) & (b) of the Companies Act, 1965 shall not apply. 3. Where a member is an authorised nominee as defined under the Securities Industry (Central Depositories) Act, 1991, it may appoint at least one (1) proxy in respect of each Securities account it holds with ordinary shares of the Company standing to the credit of the said securities account. 4. Where a member is an exempt authorised nominee, it may appoint multiple proxies for each omnibus account it holds. 5. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing under the hand of the appointer or his/her attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the appointer is a corporation, either under the Corporation’s Common Seal or under the hand of an officer or attorney so authorized. 6. The Proxy Form must be deposited at the Registered Office of the Company at Level 15-2, Bangunan Faber Imperial Court, Jalan Sultan Ismail, 50250 Kuala Lumpur not less than 48 hours before the time set for holding the meeting or any adjournment thereof. 7. Explanatory Notes on Special Businesses: Ordinary Resolution 8 The proposed Resolution 8 is a renewal of mandate given by the shareholders at the previous AGM held on 29 August 2012, primarily to give flexibility to the Board of Directors to issue and allot shares at any time in their absolute discretion and for such purposes as they consider would be in the interest of the Company without convening a general meeting. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the next annual general meeting of the Company. The Company continues to consider opportunities to broaden its earnings potential. If any of the expansion/diversification proposals involves the issue of new shares, the Directors, under certain circumstance when the opportunity arises, would have to convene a general meeting to approve the issue of new shares even though the number involved may be less than 10% of the issue capital. In order to avoid any delay and costs involved in convening a general meeting to approve such issue of shares, it is thus considered appropriate that the Directors be empowered to issue shares in the Company, up to any amount not exceeding in total 10% of the issued share capital of the Company for the time being excluding the number of ordinary shares arising from the exercise of Warrants/ESOS and Conversion of ICULS. The renewed authority will provide flexibility to the Company for the allotment of shares for the purpose of the possible fund raising activities for the purpose of funding future project/investment, working capital and/or acquisitions. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company. No shares have been issued and allotted by the Company since obtaining the said authority from its shareholders at the last AGM held on 29 August 2012 except for new shares arising from the ICULS conversion and exercise of Warrants and ESOS. Ordinary Resolution 9 This resolution will empower the Directors of the Company to purchase the Company’s shares up to ten per centum (10%) of the issued and paid-up share capital of the Company by utilising the funds allocated which shall not exceed the total retained profits and share premium of the Company. This authority, unless revoked or varied at a general meeting, will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company. Further information on the Proposed Renewal of Share Buy-Back are set out in the Share Buy-Back Statement dated 6 August 2013 which is dispatched together with the Company’s Annual Report 2013. Special Resolution 1 The proposed Special Resolution 1 above on the Proposed Amendments to the Articles of Association of the Company is to align the Articles of Association with the amended Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
